(Bismarck, ND) -- The North Dakota House is killing a booking photo and mugshot confidentiality bill by a small margin. The vote was 49 to 45 against the bill. The bill would have made the pictures confidential until a person was convicted or if law enforcement believed there was a compelling public safety interest. Officers releasing the photos without proper justification would have been penalized.
