Mugshots - Some were mugs, some were not

Mugshots from the fifties and sixties are always good fun to look at. Look at this young fella from 1956, for example, arrested for assault - I wonder whatever became of him:



Here's one of my favourites - it's from a little earlier, 1942. but you can see that this woman has a lot going on in many different directions:



And what about this guy from Philly in '57 - attitude or what?



This one's from a little later - the garage rock era - but if looks could kill.......



Or how about this punk from Philly 63 - shame about the specs, you'll need to work on those, son:



Dollree Mapp below, arrested for holding pornography, changed the law - her case was ruled inadmissable because the evidence had been obtained without a warrant. The 'lewd and lascivious pictures' found in a trunk in the basement, by the way, had been left by a previous tenant, according to Dollree. This has a ring of truth about it. Women do not generally collect trunkfuls of naughty pictures.



Here's a great one from 1950 - my word, she looks a bit of a tigress - I wish I'd known her:



How about this punk kid from Denver - cool dude or what?



Finally, one of my favourites - a young lady who clearly didn't listen to her mother - I hope she didn't get into too much trouble:

and obviously liars and crooks, at least a few of em anyway.

Haha these are great snaps!!
