Licensing[edit]
 | This media is a booking photo, more commonly known as a mug shot, normally produced in the regular operations of a law enforcement agency or correctional facility.
Some booking photos (such as those produced by the FBI) are in the public domain, while others may be copyrighted. Laws concerning disclosure of information, data protection and privacy may be applicable, especially as part of a publicly or widely distributed document. In particular, US courts have ruled that the public may not have the right to obtain a copy of a mugshot from the government, but that if obtained, may be published. This template is not a valid license tag alone. Please accompany it with an appropriate license. |

It does not fall into one of the blanket acceptable non-free content categories listed at Wikipedia:Non-free content § Images or Wikipedia:Non-free content § Audio clips, and it is not covered by a more specific non-free content license listed at Category:Wikipedia non-free file copyright templates.

Fair use rationale for Murder of Russel Timoshenko[edit]
- It is believed that the use of this image on the English-language Wikipedia to illustrate multiple sections of the article about the incident in which this person was involved falls under the "Non-profit educational" clause of the Fair Use doctrine currently upheld by United States law. (17 U.S.C. § 107)
- It is unlikely that a freely-licensed image suitable for illustrating the section of the article describing the subject's arrest, trial, and incarceration will be found, owing to the nature of the individual's imprisonment (it is unlikely that there are any freely-licensed images taken during this period—furthermore, the case was not tried by federal prosecutors).
- Owing to the limited web-resolution of the image, only a small portion of a copyrighted work is used.
- For the same reasons, the portion of the copyrighted work used is of inherently lower quality than the original, reducing the risk of competitiveness and therefore the effects of this copy on the market for or value of versions held by the owner of the copyright.
