Mar 30 - This is what will happen when Trump is arrested
![]() When Trump is arrested, will his fingerprints and mugshot be taken? Alvin Bragg will inform Mr Trump and his lawyers, setting off negotiations over how and when the former president will appear in New York City for his formal arrest and first hearing in court. The document presenting the official charges against Mr Trump will not be made public until a judge reads out the charges against him. Given the historic nature of such a move, and the security concerns involved, the details of Mr Trump's New York appearance are somewhat uncertain. Mr Trump's lawyers have indicated that he will co-operate with New York authorities, so there would be no warrant put out for his arrest. Mr Trump has his own personal jet, so he could fly into one of several New York area airports and then make the journey to the lower Manhattan courthouse by car. As part of those negotiations with prosecutors, the court may also agree to grant him a private entrance to the court, instead of the more typical "perp walk" in front of the a*sembled media. Once inside, however, Mr Trump will be fingerprinted and have his mug shot taken like all defendants in criminal cases. He will also be read his "Miranda" rights, reminding him of his constitutionally-protected right to a lawyer and to decline to talk to police. Defendants charged with a felony are typically handcuffed temporarily, although Mr Trump's lawyers will try to avoid that for their client. Throughout the booking process, he will be accompanied by Secret Service agents. Mr Trump would then wait in a holding area or cell until his appearance before a judge. The arraignment - the moment where a defendant enters their plea before a judge - is open to the public. Once the case is booked and a judge is selected, other details will fall into place, such as the timing of the trial and possible travel restrictions and bail requirements for the defendant. A conviction on a misdemeanour would result in a fine. If Mr Trump were convicted on the felony charge, he would face a maximum sentence of four years in prison, although some legal experts predict a fine is more probable, and that any time behind bars is highly unlikely. Can he still run for president? An indictment or even a criminal conviction would not prevent Mr Trump from continuing his presidential campaign if he so chooses - and he has given every indication that he will keep pushing ahead regardless of what happens. In fact, there is nothing in US law that prevents a candidate who is found guilty of a crime from campaigning for, and serving as, president - even from prison. Mr Trump's arrest would certainly complicate his presidential campaign, however. While it might cause some Republican voters to rally around their embattled champion, it could be a significant distraction for a candidate on the campaign trail, trying to stump for votes and participate in debates. It would also deepen and enflame already sharp divides within the American political system. Conservatives believe the former president is being held to a different standard of justice, while liberals view this as an issue of holding law-breakers - even those in the highest positions of power - accountable. ![]() |

Unless for certain circumstances. If the feds 'don't release' them you may be wondering how it is you've ever seen an image of a suspect accused of a federal crime, but the Department of Justice policy explains a mugshot can only be released if it serves a legitimate law enforcement purpose. In a statement to Newsweek, an FBI spokesperson explained: "We do not release mugshots absent a law enforcement purpose, for example, when a person is a fugitive." Authorities are also permitted to release such images when they're looking for witnesses who may only know a suspect by recognising their face, rather than their name or other details. Maybe he fell under the 2nd one? Last edited by Until Then; 03-30-2023 at 07:42 PM.. | |

Just remember this retard being indicted was delayed multiple times and coincided with another event that was sure to draw an emotional response from an opposing group. This could be a nothingburger and a pure concidence, but it's worth mentioning and these "coincidences" are getting out of hand.
