Prof. Kirtley Quoted on Publication of Mug Shot Photos in Tabloid

Professor Jane Kirtley was quoted in a Pioneer Press article about "Busted," a weekly tabloid that routinely publishes mug shots from several county jails in the Twin Cities metro area. Kirtley cautioned that "wholesale publication" of these photos poses a risk to continued public access to them as legislators become concerned about privacy issues. "I would never want anyone to say these are not public records," she said.
