If it's anything like the DMV they may not allow you to smile
They're canceling smiles, folks!
Maybe just lore, but I've heard sometimes the picture-takers will try to induce people to smile to sour how they're handled by others in the system, since the smiling supposedly indicates a lack of remorse or concern for the gravity of the charge. I read one thing that suggested prosecutors will show a grinning mugshot to anger the jury. I also heard never eat PopRocks then drink a Coke because your stomach will tear open.
The smiling mugshot was one of the things that tanked Pablo Escobars political career allegedly. Though that's probably just a lib analysis ignoring material conditions and the like
