Mug shots are readily available to the public.
Multiple websites make money posting them and then the arrested parties paying them money to remove them.

Despite being public record, media outlets still struggle to get them (some public officials mugshots never get released).
In this case, TCSO disseminated them to cull public opinion in their favor.  Didnt work.

As for the websites that post mugshots for the purpose of extracting money from people, that's much closer to extortion than free speech.

Can't understand why.  It's quite easy.  You just need the internets.

I believe sheriffs dont always post them to the internets.  http://oudaily.com/news/2012/jun/22/editorial-mug-shots/

Public record.  Mugshots, arrest records and other court documents are public record.  Anyone can access them.

PAWNEE — The Pawnee County Sheriff's Office's claim that a broken camera prevented jailers from taking Sheriff Roger Price's mugshot is being disputed by people who were booked into the jail around the same time.
Price was charged July 14 in Pawnee County District Court with grand larceny and two counts of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, all felonies.
He is accused of stealing a trailer and of driving two vehicles that were seized in drug arrests.
The Pawnee County Sheriff's Office's camera has worked, inmates say, but it hasn't captured the embattled sheriff's image.
