I haven't found solid evidence these are actual mug shots, but an Iowa trooper was suspended for forwarding the photo in an email on his personal time from his personal account, http://www.ketv.com/news/18585512/detail.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, so I guess the Iowa State Police felt they were valid enough.

BTW, a lot of newer mug shots have a digital overlay applied to them when required (depending on the sophistication of the department and their resources.) thesmokinggun.com where these originated have quite a few shots that are valid and match what the news media show with no numbers displayed. Older vintage shots have the old manual board in front. Also, some of these may have had the numbers cropped out as they could have been lower int he photo if still using the manual mug boards.

Well, they are supposed to be actual mug shots from what I was sent originally, but you know this IS the Internet. They ARE shots of someone's MUG (face) so I guess that makes them mug shots.

I do know different agencies have different methods of photographing, so I would think they may be. We just used a concrete block wall behind our arrestee's so our photos looked kinda like the one bottom right for a background.

The guy on the bottom left looks like a guy I work with. May have to ask him.

These are actual mug shots.



Just think about this for a second: Did you ever see anyone arrested wearing a Bush T-shirt, or for you older guys, an Eisenhower, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, or even Nixon, or Bob Dole shirt.

The President must be so proud of his supporters!
