Why Trump is not expected to have a mug shot taken.

[underpants]

The former president is not likely to be photographed when he is booked on charges, officials say, because his image is commonly available and taking his mug shot would entail more movements for him, complicating security.

When former president Donald J. Trump is formally arrested in Manhattan on Tuesday, he will in some respects be treated like any other criminal defendant: He will have his fingerprints taken and will be assigned a New York State Identification Number to track his criminal history.

But Mr. Trump is not expected to be handcuffed, and he will likely not have a mug shot taken, according to several people with knowledge of the matter.

Under New York State law, the authorities must take the fingerprints of anyone charged with a felony. But law enforcement officials have discretion over whether they take a mug shot.

1. Mug shots I think are becoming less common in blue states

because it's viewed as prejudicial later on if people can track it down.

7. incorrect

MUG shots are still done, they just aren't allowing them to be released to the public anymore.

14. Perhaps,

but I want him handled under Red State rules ge himself advocated. Rough him up a little.

2. The two

female reporters on MSNBC now are positively orgasmic when reporting what's happening. I just don't understand the fascination with the big fat ugly orange criminal.

4. Ratings.

6. Well

They have you watching then taking it to a public message board and talking about it some more. You answered your own question.

3. he would have to remove his orange mask

[Jarqui]

5. They might have to search his hair ... procedure ...

8. The special treatment never ends.

9. awww, poor President Fraud. He WANTED a mug shot. "My most famous

picture, the best" Now he will have to distribute millions of FAKE mugshot pics. Oh well, he
doesn't care if it's real or fake.

This drooling over President Fraud all day on MSNBC is infuriating.

10. What's the protocol in Georgia?

Just asking for future reference...

[Meadowoak]

11. He'd probably look like Tammy Faye Baker with all his makeup running from all the tears.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Germaphobe gonna get fingers dirty. . . . nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. 'more movements' huh? The creep goes all over the

place for his hate rallies. Are we treating him the same? Hell no

[Torchlight]

15. I just want to see the process played out, regardless of cuffs or jumpsuits.

Jumpsuits and cuffs are just the sprinkles to me, the process itself has been my dessert. He's earned his due, and his tantrums will only take him so far-- since couldn't get a pay-per-view crucifixion deal to cash in on out of today, he'll just keep tripping over his clwonish face while his flock yells, "he meant to do that!"

16. Only still cameras if that

No video inside the proceedings from what I heard last night.

[Johonny]

17. I guess they will fake one in order to sell those T-shirts

Doesn't NY know they're screwing up their business plans

22. I was expecting a Brian Bosworth trick

Box said he was going to rough up Broncos QB John Elway. Tons of anti-Boz t-shirts were sold inbtge Denver area. Boz had the shirts made. Of course Trump would never send the money to a charity.

Here’s the thing: Bosworth’s company produced the shirts:

“But if they had looked inside the shirt at the little tag that said Boz 44, Inc., they would have realized they paid fifteen dollars for a shirt made by my company,” Bosworth wrote. “We gave all the profits to the Children’s Hospital. We just wanted to prove how oxygen-deprived Denver fans are.”

18. That mug is instantly recognizable. I didn't expect a picture.

However, doesn't NY insist on a DNA swab on arrest?

That could hurt him with rape charges pending, and that's exactly why they do it.

[Tree Lady]

19. what about the DNA is he

still getting swabbed?

[JanLip]

20. No mugshot

I’m so glad. Really tired of seeing his ugly puss. There’s too many pics out there now

[Chainfire]

21. That is fine, we can make our own. ;)
