No, Trump's mugshot IS NOT public record.
US Copyright Law stipulates that the law enforcement agency that takes a mugshot is the legal owner of it.
I am constantly amazed at how much like Trump his cult followers are. Hell, you think you are an expert on copyright law. The Fulton County Sheriff's office OWNS that mugshot. They can post it on line, they can share it with news outlets, hell, they can even print it on T-shirts and sell them. Trump, on the other hand, can't.
I mean that is another amazing thing. The people that advise Trump, the lawyers that represent him, they are flippin idiots. "You know Mr. President, Fulton county owns the rights to that mugshot, with all the indictments and shit floating around, maybe we shouldn't be selling something we don't have the rights to".
But no, they send out warnings to other people telling them not to use the mugshot for profit, unbelievable.
I mean come on, critical thinking. Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Martin Luther King, and scores of other famous people have had mugshots. Why has no one made T-shirts or posters using them? BECAUSE IT IS A VIOLATION OF COPYRIGHT LAW.
