I’ll admit I am late following this, yet this position just gets me……..Oregon and several other states mandated no mug shots. It was a decision with out a vote from Oregonians. The Gov decided that unfortunately.
Would love to hear the rationale and basis for this.
It seems to me IMO are there not cases that when arrested and made aware to others…… prior victims might even come forth to report to authorities? And could provide details on their interactions on similar or repeat prior incidents with the assailant or accused? And that might lead to an established pattern of conduct or behavior and criminal history?
I’ve tried to find some statistics on this just now…… but unfortunately am coming up with nil. But the practice of not identifying a suspect clearly including with a mug shot just seems perplexing. Almost seems IMO an attempt to shield something from public awareness. And isn’t it often the case that certain criminal behaviors tend to escalate in severity with repeat offenses? SMH. MOO
