There are increasingly more rights for criminals and fewer rights for law-abiding citizens.

We need to know what these people look like, for identification and safety.

I don't think mugshots should be available for everyone. We need to prevent harassment and one's privacy.

Mugshots are taken however the person is not convicted. Given the number of unarmed people across the US that were shot this year, do you truly believe releasing mugshots of people prior to a hearing where they are connected is a good idea.

Personally, it makes me cringe when KTVZ starts off their nightly newscast with some stringy, greasy-haired creep's picture on my TV screen for being arrested. It's a complete turnoff! I usually fast-forward over everything else to the weather when they start with that. It is gross.

They bias public opinion about the guilt of the arrested. Many times people are arrested & released or the charges are dropped but that mug shot makes us all think they "must have done something". Plus they are just used to shame people as another deterrent to crime. But do they really affect rates?

there are already enough things to watch out for at CRR... wildlife, bikes, pedestrians, etc ...and not a sidewalk anywhere... would prefer not to see the result of an ATV vs. auto/truck...

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?
