San Francisco police will STOP releasing mugshots of people arrested to 'stop perpetuating racial stereotypes' - unless they pose a threat to public safety
ZitatSan Francisco police will stop releasing the mug shots of people who have been arrested unless they pose a threat to the public, as part of an effort to stop perpetuating racial stereotypes, the city's police chief announced Wednesday.
Bill Scott, chief of San Francisco police, said the policy - which goes into effect immediately - means the department will no longer release booking photos of suspects to the media or allow officers to post them online.
Booking photos are taken when someone is arrested.
