Georgia Law Covering Treutlen County Booking Photos

Georgia enacted O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19 in 2014 to restrict how law enforcement agencies handle booking photos online. The law prohibits agencies from posting mugshots to public websites. This is why Treutlen County Sheriff does not maintain an online mugshot gallery. The photos are taken at booking, they are public records, but access goes through a formal request rather than a public web portal.

Third-party mugshot websites operate separately from the sheriff's office. They often collect booking photos from court documents, other public filings, or earlier public records before laws restricted online posting. Georgia's O.C.G.A. § 10-1-393.5 requires these sites to remove a photo within 30 days of a certified mail request, at no charge, when the arrest qualifies for restriction under state law. The Georgia Consumer Protection Division has specific guidance on how to make this kind of request and which companies must comply.

The Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70, gives the public a right to inspect and copy government records. Agencies must respond within three business days. This law covers Treutlen County Sheriff records, including arrest logs, booking reports, and any other public records the office maintains. Requests can be submitted in writing, by email, or in person at the sheriff's office.
