PG was reading Carl Hiassen, and the subject was newspapers printing mug shots. Apparently, this is the rage in Florida. A visit to the search engine of the fishwrapper shows that this trend has not spread to Atlanta.
Of course, with google you have other options. PG quickly found a site with mug shots from Dekalb and Gwinnett. For someone with internet access and too much free time, this is dangerous. It should be noted that these photos are of people who have been arrested, not convicted. Some will be found innocent, or have the charges dropped.
In Dekalb, on October 6, 128 people were “mugged”. 11 white men, 3 white women, 87 black men, 14 black women, and 7 hispanic men were guests of the county.
In Gwinnett, things are a bit different. 115 people were processed on October 6. The breakdown is 18 white men, 7 white women, 22 black men, 7 black women, 32 hispanic men, 8 hispanic women, and 1 asian man. It should be noted that this is a blog post, and not an audit. The numbers might not add up.
Many of those in Gwinnett are show “hold for court” as the charge. Also, many of the Gwinnett people ( including all the hispanic women) show “no drivers license” as the charge.
Traditionally, the names of minors,charged with crimes, are not used in the media. This rule is not followed in Gwinnett county. Several of the mug shots are clearly people under age. When the charge is possession of alcohol by a minor, and the face has pimples, it a safe assumption that the person is underage.
If the hairdo police are making arrests, many of these people face further charges.
