Donald Trump, the first former president to have a public jail mugshot, is accused of multiple crimes related to intefering in the 2020 election in Georgia.
That seems to be true for Trump; unclear about the others unless I missed reporting on this. Did anybody follow-up with the Sheriff to see if others were weighed versus self-reported?
Is Trump getting special treatment? Did Trump, or others here, make false statements to officials about their height or weight? I don’t think it’s trivial.
It’s also fun to do this about somebody so vain about their own appearance and who has spent a lifetime making fun of others for their appearance or weight.
I’ve been booked a few times. Height was measured accurately once (with a tape measure). But generally it was on the honor system or pulled from my license.
Never been weighed in jail except when seeing the doctor.
Seems like it wouldn’t be too hard for the DMV or jail to take your license picture while you stand on a scale next to a ruler. Kill 3 birds with one stone.
My driver’s license has me a couple inches shorter than I am because I wasn’t quite done growing at 16. I asked once about changing it when I went to renew my license, but they need some paperwork and I think maybe even a doctor’s note, so I didn’t bother.
If the government is fine having an inaccurate description of me on file, that’s their problem I guess.
We can stop reporting their weight and height. They’re not being weighed or measured, they’re submitting that information on the honor system.

IMHO, it must be self reported org taken from their license, which is usually also self reported.
Powell is reported at 6f 170lb, which is how tall and heavy I am. And I’m a damn bean pole.

And if there’s one thing that people who lied about election results in an attempt to keep Trump in office are known for, it’s being honest.
No wait, not honest. The other thing.
Why even bother collecting weight if they can just make up whatever?
Yeah, it’s pretty stilly.

Based on drivers license information more likely. I looked at mine still says 175 I haven’t weigh that in 10 years.
Six of one, half a dozen of the other.
Drivers licenses are often a self-report honor system in much of the US.

I remember mine for the longest time said 130 pounds because I got my license in high school when I was a weirdly skinny kid.
