Montgomery County, Texas DA
tweets about local "news organization" publishing photos of those arrested, yet not convicted, of DWI.
So much for his respect from the presumption of innocence.
Edit @ House of York: Those City of Denton bookin/booking photos I link to every now and then are actually posted by a North Texas student who is not associated with any government agency.
Edit: I stand corrected, the City of Denton
does post bookin photos. When I'm wrong, I'm wrong. (I guess that's where the North Texas student gets them and then twitpics them.)

Huh? I'm surprised you have a problem with that.
Denton has been posting book in photos for a while now.
At times, you use them as blog material.
Mmm....
Were Drugs or Alcohol involved?
Take that...Smarty Pants House of York!
I read your "edit" to House of York. So what.....it makes no difference. They are still pictures posted of "accused' and not yet convicted or found guilty. So you are doing just the same when you post those pictures from Denton too. No way around that one, Barry.
Good points by York and 9:30. You're doing the same thing once-removed, BG. You love a train wreck and always stop to watch and promote them. Just as guilty, man. Like your "edit" shows.
Uhh ohhh....I'm in trouble now.
Please accept my apology. I was totally wrong in questioning you about that post. I forgot that it was not the actual Denton police department that posts those.
Has Jared Loughner been convicted yet? You didn't seem to mind posting his picture. So much for the presumption of innocence.
House of York...the fact is Barry posts them (Denton pictures) here as book in photos. You were correct in your first post. No need to apologize.
A guy in Colleyville has been doing this same thing for years.

WTF is the big deal? They are "book-in photos" not "tried and convicted photos."
Geez.
Only a true liberal believes they can have it both ways and somehow it's okay.
= hypocrit to the max
Can you ever be a little bit pregnant?
Hey 9:44,
Is it legeal to "love" on your cousin once removed?
It's impossible to love on your cousin once they are removed.
The City of Denton does post the mug shots.

"presumption of innocence" is only in the eyes of the law and the courts, private individuals can hold any view they choose. The information is public record.
(insert cabbage patch dance here)

Hey Jack D..... there would be no "big deal" if Barry had left this alone. But HE puts up the same photos that he is now chastizing others for doing. Pot calling the kettle black? hmm?
I think the difference is that Barry's not the D.A. The D.A. is sworn to find the truth, and posting booking pictures of people who are presumed innocent creates a conflict of sorts.
Hey 12:08 It is in east Tx.They're called training dummies.
