why the need for public access to a record of someone being arrested
It is intended to prevent secret arrests. It is absolutely sucky for individuals to have their arrests made public, but the consequences of enabling secret arrests would be terrible for the country as a whole.
- chopin 13y agoCan you explain this? In Germany, where I live there are no public mugshots (in fact this is explicitly forbidden) and I am pretty sure that we don't have secret arrests. In which way do public mugshots prevent secret arrests? In case you want to arrest someone secretly, just don't publish the mugshot.
