Tenth Circuit Rules Mug Shots Exempt From Disclosure

The Tenth Circuit has agreed with the recent decision of the Eleventh Circuit in finding that mug shots taken by the U.S. Marshals Service are exempt from disclosure pursuant to the FOIA.  The Sixth Circuit has ruled that mug shots are not exempt under the FOIA and must be released.  The Supreme Court recently decided not to hear the Eleventh Circuit's decision.
