Short article but here’s the important bit:

According to Georgia law, “photographs taken by law enforcement during the booking process, the author of the mugshot photograph is the law enforcement agency.”

Fulton County owns the image of Trump’s website and has the right to recoup any funds that are earned from the copyright violation. If a lawsuit is filed, it would have to come from the sheriff’s office.

So sending out an email with the picture, probably legit…

Selling merchandise with the image tho, and the copyright owner can go after the money.
