41 Hilarious Mugshots

Getting arrested sucks, but the unpleasantness of it all doesn't stop thousands of people from being apprehended every day -- and, to be fair, not everyone who gets nabbed is even close to what most would consider a criminal. Mugshots can tell us a lot; some spice up their gloomy trip by maintaining a cheerful attitude through the booking process, the results of which are funny and sometimes endearing mugshots.

Others are unintentionally hilarious and their mugshots are proof that the ravages of drug addiction and street life can occasionally be funny (to others). The Smoking Gun has an enormous database of these photos. We've chosen the best from their bunches and scoured the rest of the internet for previously unseen comedy gold.

Here are 41 hilarious mugshots.

Making fun of the mentally ill and the retarded is so cool.

These people aren't deformed or mentally ill. They are drunks, drug addicts, and dumb asses. These people don't deserve our sympathy. Anyone this screwed up deserves to be laughed at.
HARD COLD TRUTH: If you make an ass of yourself in public, or in life in general, you will get laughed at. If you don't like it don't make an ass of yourself.

The tattoo ones are hilarious, and the ridiculous poses (I think my favorite is the blur). I agree, however, that a good chunk of these feature people with serious medical issues that just aren't funny. But...is that gold spray paint? Sharpie masks? That's the kind of stuff that's funny. Not the woman with Graves or anything like that. How about the security guard?

In the Middle Ages they would put people in cages and parade them before lords and ladies so the aristocracy could laugh at them. The people in the cages were seriously mad and physically deformed. Apparently it has become fashionable again for a decadent society to make fun of poor, sick and deformed people.

You are right; it is disgusting that we parade them around and mock them. What are you doing to help them? Have you invited any such under privileged people in to your home to share the wealth and comfort of the American Dream with your family . . . or have your limited your concern for them to petty verbal assaults on others that coincidentally also have done nothing for these people. Sometimes its better to stay quiet.

RE "We're not sure this woman even knows where she is."

This woman has Graves Disease (hyperactive thyroid gland and swelling of tissue behind eyes ) and needs medical care, not laughs.

Really, Doctor? I knew someone who could pop their eyes out like that by holding their nose and putting pressure in their sinuses. It was truly weird. But it wasn't a disease.

As a person with a thyroid disorder myself, I agree she likely has Graves. I admit some of these photos are funny in the "what the hell were they thinking way" and others show physical deformities, sad, not funny.

Clearly alot of these people are meth addicted. You can see the blank lifeless stares on them, thats what it does. Google faces of meth and you will be frightened of some of them. All arrests are public, therefore your info and photo are accessible to everyone. Be careful out there, its a scary world.

I DID google 'faces of meth' and it occurred to me that these people had pre-meth mug shots. WTF? They were apparently in trouble before meth came into their lives. Been there, done that, got out cold turkey. No sympathy for those who don't.

Very few meth addicts recover. It's truly sad. Only a little over 10% successfully kick the habit. The fact that they were previously in trouble only shows the casual link between poverty, crime, and drug abuse.

I know a very successful father who has his head on straight, yet still struggles with meth addiction every single day. If you don't want to hit the pipe every single day of your life, you were never "addicted" in the first place. You are never fully recovered from meth- it is a plague until the day you die. Each and every day clean is a victory for these people.

"Hilarious"? Try depressing. I can't look at a lot of these faces without immediately feeling sorry for the lifetime of abuse they must have endured. Society - by which I mean cruel people like the fool who posted these - undoubtedly warped these people into the criminals they became.

Grow up and get some empathy.

It`s somebody else`s fault that these people are in jail ? Well, tell me this : who in society "warped" you into a sniveling, liberal imbecile. I would really like to know, so I can go smack the shlt out of `em.
