Cruel and Unusual?

How long until the ACLU tries to ban mug shots as a violation of the Eighth Amendment? "In the days of Internet and electronic scoffing, mug shots have become the equivalent of the public stocks . . ."

The Ohio man was nabbed yesterday morning for "abusing harmful intoxicants" as he attempted to make a purchase at Bellaire's Dollar General Store. The 41-year-old Tribett, it seems, had been huffing spray paint and needed a refill. According to a Bellaire Police Department report, Tribett's pupils were constricted and he replied slowly to their questions. Oh, and "officers observed the paint on face and hands," as can be seen in the below mug shot.
