How normal is it for someone to avoid mugshot, handcuffs and a cell? I understand rich white people experience a different form of justice in the US, and I also understand that being an ex president adds so many complexities with the Secret Service etc.

Is this unique treatment?

Not being held pre-trial is extremely common. If you are allowed to turn yourself in and be released on your own recognizance or pay bail, then you don't usually get handcuffed either.

Not getting a mugshot for felonies is very unusual, but the point of the mugshot is primarily to have a photo on file to identify defendants. Probably not necessary for someone to need photos of Trump to identify him.

I mean there's gotta be a file created at some point in the process, are they just going to paste his presidential portrait there or something?

Most criminal history files are electronic in CJIS/NCIC. CJIS/NCIC is also ancient mainframe software that does not include media. Mugshot policy is handled at the state level (some states have public mugshot websites, some ban mugshots from being made public, and some require the defendant to agree to release them). Generally, states will have their own case management or records system that includes mugshots or just links to their driver's license page - which includes their DMV picture.

Sucks we don't get a mugshot, but I heard an interview on I think BBC or something where the pro-Tromp guy was saying that having a public mugshot would be a good thing because it would be instantly become the best selling merch. So in that sense, I guess it's good he doesn't get a picture he can slap on t-shirts?

It would be public property though so anyone could use it. How much would that annoy him? To see his face everywhere but he doesn’t get paid for it? I bet he’d seethe about it the rest of his life.

Well, to be fair, with him being an ex-president, this is all new territory, and I wonder if part of it is trying to avoid anything that tries to shame him - they don't want to give him more reasons for appeal.

Supposedly, the Secret Service have nothing to do with the process.

It doesn't strike me as these are mutually exclusive. It's possible that upon learning the details of the surrender, the Secret Service asked for more time to go over their security plans/requirements. Which i feel like the Manhattan DA's office would accommodate.

Isn't "no cameras during the trial" the norm though? It seems like it was just the past few years where they were allowed it and that was mostly due to Covid.

Emphasis mine. The thing is, it shouldn't be. He's a common civilian, being indicted for a civilian crime in a civilian court system. If we're serious about being a nation of laws, then the law must apply equally to all of us, regardless of social station or prior or even current office. I realize full-well that our justice system is too often unjust, but we propagate that injustice when we give any credence to the idea that "this is all new territory." There's no new case law being written here.

For those wondering about felonies, their potential sentences, etc.:

A Class E felony is 1-5 years, max $250k fine, and 1 year of probation. Assuming he's convicted, it's at least a year in (federal) prison. The most damaging case scenario is that he is ordered to serve time consecutively for any convictions rendered.

Those are federal charges. He's being charged at the state level. The sentences are similar, but NYS uses Class E felonies for charges that would otherwise be a misdemeanor, but were committed as part of a larger underlying crime.

Not clear what larger underlying crime the DA is alleging right now.

There are regular class E felonies as well. They're not all necessarily aggravated misdemeanors
