The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office is once again posting mugshots on its website, the agency annouced on social media this week.
The Sheriff’s Office suspended the practice last year after the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals determined that posting the photos online constituted unlawful pretrial punishment.
Attorney Andrew Ivchenko was involved in that case. He says he and others are moving forward with a class-action lawsuit against the Sheriff’s Office and Maricopa County.
In a statement to KJZZ, MCSO spokesperson William Jinks said: "The changes made to the mug shot page are in accordance with the opinion of the appellate court."
