Former president Donald Trump pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges that he conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 election, appearing in the federal courthouse that sits just blocks away from where his angry supporters stormed the Capitol building in an effort to keep him in power.

Looking forward to the GA indictment where they say he'll get a mugshot taken. Not sure if that's changed or not.

Sadly, it probably doesn't matter what law is on the books about it. It's a southern red state, and like it or not he is a former president and a white man of influence.

Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat is on record, even with Fox News today, saying that unless someone tells him different, if locally arraigned Trump will have his fingerprints and mugshot taken, so there’s a tiny amount of hope there.

edit: and why would it be a problem anyway? Apparently he got arrested today for his supporters, so he can go that extra mile and get a mugshot for them too.

Are mugshots public record in Fulton County? In many places they are not released unless the person is on the lam and there's a need to release a recent image.

I cannot be certain, but found this blurb

“All arrest data including mugshots are categorized under public records and in compliance with Georgia Open Records Act, are made available to citizens on request.”

We just need to make sure no one holds any of the doors open for him on the way in to take it.
