FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a mugshot?
• A mugshot is a booking picture taken during investigation. It is not an accusation or an admission of guilt. 
• Regardless of case resolution, the arrest has happened and a booking photograph was taken. This by itself is true and factual and what a mugshot represents.
• This does not represent resolution of a case; guilty plea or not guilty plea.
  
  
• Booking records and mugshots are considered and legally recognized as public record.
  
  
• Is everyone listed on your website guilty of a crime?
• No. All mugshots posted and people listed are presumed innocent unless proven guilty through due process in a court of law.
• For the latest status information, contact Brown County Clerk of Courts or the Law Enforcement agency that originally released the data.
  
  
• How does this information benefit our community?
• There are many public benefits of releasing official records and mugshots.
• The release of this information can help citizens identify criminals and keep an active role in the community.
  
  
• I was found "Not Guilty", the case was "Dismissed", my charges were "dropped", or "no charges were filed". Why is my mugshot on your website?
• To answer this question, refer to "What is a mugshot" section on this page.
  
  
• Isn't posting my mugshot a violation of my rights?
• Posting a mugshot is not a violation of privacy or rights. Mugshots and booking records (including booking charges) are legally recognized as public records. While you or someone you know may be in the mugshot(s), the ownership of the records is public.
  
  
• In regards to the 'Daily Arrest Records,' why do I see the same person listed on multiple dates?
• A person has been arrested & is being booked with new charges.
• A person has been charged, convicted, and sentenced but their jail time has been "Imposed & Stayed". The court notes will state to be used at the discretion of Probation & Parole (P&P) or Treatment Court. If the person has a violation, the court or P&P can "impose" a specific number of days that the individual must spend in jail for their violation.
• A case is relevant due to the nature of the crime and in the interest of the public, we will provide updates:
• In these situations, we will post only in the following scenarios: (1) Competency Hearing (2) Sentencing Hearing (3) Appeals Court
• The case number (clickable URL that will direct you to the case on CCAP) will be listed under the person's name and an italicized note regarding why the case is being posted. Ex: Competency Hearing on (date).
• A person has been charged & convicted of specific charges; however, the court does not immediately take them into custody of the jail. 
• The person has reported to jail to serve their sentence on the date agreed upon by the court and the defense attorney and/or defendant. 
• When this occurs, we specifically note the case number in italics (clickable URL that will direct you to case on CCAP and "Sentence beginning on (date)" and will note the details of the sentence if they are available. If the sentence details are not available, we will note that on the arrest as, "Sentence beginning on (date), details not yet available".

Are the two admins really dead. YES they are sadly. I will not post obituaries but, I can ensure you they really are in fact deceased. One in November, then one in December. 

Is the page ran by a new admin? 

Sadly no, she stepped away to pursue a career in criminal justice. Now, she is back. She has been with the page since it's creation. It started with TWO original admins and we added a THIRD. There never was "OFFICIALLY" a FOURTH.
