Mug shots of people who were arrested in Maricopa County will no longer be published on the sheriff's office website. Here's why.
Mug shots of people who were arrested in Maricopa County will no longer be published on the sheriff's office website.It removed all the booking photos on Monday, Sept. 9, after a ruling on Sept. 5 by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.Judges ruled that mug shots posted online can cause people public exposure and humiliation before they've been convicted of a crime.
The result is public exposure and humiliation of pretrial detainees, who are presumed innocent and may not be punished before an adjudication of guilt. Our question is whether Maricopa County’s policy of posting photographs of arrestees is constitutionally permissible. We conclude that it is not," a judge said in the ruling.The case stems from a man named Brian Houston who is suing the sheriff's office. He was arrested by Phoenix Police, accused of assault, back in 2022.
