Mugshot

[edit]

Hi Netscott. On Image:Mel Gibson taken July-28-2006.jpg, you said "it's a photo released by the Los Angeles sheriffs department whose mugshots are by default public domain." The LA Sheriff's Department is not part of the U.S. federal government, and the status of the works of California state employees is not so simple. Unless you have any specific info the sheriff's department policies, I don't think it is safe for us to assume that the photo is PD and suitable for Commons. Note that {{PD-US-mugshot}} and {{PD-CAGov}} now redirect to deletion templates. Discussion about the issues has been pretty fragmented, but two decent entry points are en:Template talk:Mugshot and en:Template talk:PD-CAGov. ×Meegs 16:48, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
