Busted Mugshots and Photo Restrictions
Clatsop County follows Oregon's mugshot law. ORS 133.870 limits when booking photos can be shared with the public. The jail roster does not display mugshot images. You get text-based data only. Names, dates, charges, and physical descriptions are all available. But the actual booking photo stays restricted under state law.
The law allows release of busted mugshots only in limited cases. If the person has been convicted, the photo may be released. If the person is a fugitive and the photo helps find them, sharing is allowed. If there is a law enforcement purpose, the agency can share it. Clatsop County applies these rules to every request. You cannot get a booking photo simply by asking for one. There must be a reason that fits within the statute. This protects people who pass through the Clatsop County Jail but are never convicted of a crime.
