CA law is a little weird and inconsistent on mugshots, @MattHjourno was tweeting about this yesterday.

.@mattdpearce @MattHjourno There are always "micro" reasons but still not okay. By the way, rest of thread here:https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/739920123281199105 …

Given prevalence of mugshot use for many black victims, journalists should develop standards and stick to it.
in the image above -- is the one on far right a mug shot or a pic from ID card/DMV photo?
That one may have been driver's license. Friends of victim told me he was athlete, many better alternatives. See +
..rest of thread for many examples. I had so many unfortunate examples, picked a few.
fwiw, many challenges to get yearbook photos. I was told we don't run them b/c copyright held by yrbook photographer
legal issues over other images and interpretations of fair use also govern which photos are used. Sometimes use DMV pic

As I said, there are many examples, and clear differences in treatment.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/739923260318584833 …

If there are differences in picture availability. Well, that's the job. Do the work; create a process.
