Likely copyright violation and more, see talk page. This image is a cut-out from Image:RaceMugshots.jpg that also has the same problems. Thus I have also nominated that one for deletion. --Davidgothberg 04:00, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Source is FBI, the copyright statement read All information the Bureau provides at this site is considered public information and may be distributed or copied, subject to Sections 701 and 709 of Title 18, United States Code (Link has since then changed, but entire section of copyright can be found in the image page or on the FBI website).
Hence the source images are also public information, not a likely copyright violation, although I have to admit am not familiar with Title 18, United States Code. The collage of these images was licensed by me as CC and GFDL, which is my usual style of licensing on the commons. So for all practical purposes these images are free. Artistic value can be seen as low, but this is not a deletion reason. -- Chris 73 19:34, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kept, not copyright violation as from PD-US source, now mentioned on image page. -- Infrogmation 14:19, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
