You're wrong again. That dot org site you posted is also not in any way affiliated with the State of New York. I don't care if they do or don't post his mugshot but they passed a law in 2020. Many states have done it as well because of those crappy record search websites that you just posted. It's because you can have your mugshot taken and then not be convicted and sites like the one you posted collect those mugshots and then charge people to get them to remove them.
I prefer to look at things objectively and gather all the facts from reliable sources and not just post a link to some scammy pay-per-view record search website. So many of you let emotions guide your thought process. I prefer to go by facts. They might release it and they might not. We'll just have to wait and see. But according to the law there is no specific law enforcement purpose to do so and would constitute an invasion of privacy according to New York law currently in place.
Lets look at actual New York Law from the actual New York State website. I know, actual facts. Some might want to look away and skip this post since facts seem so painful to many.
It was Democrat Governor that pushed for this law.

SECTION 89
General provisions relating to access to records; certain cases
(b) An unwarranted invasion of personal privacy includes, but shall
not be limited to:
viii. disclosure of law enforcement arrest or booking photographs of
an individual, unless public release of such photographs will serve a
specific law enforcement purpose and disclosure is not precluded by any
state or federal laws.

"New York State Police will stop releasing mugshots effective Wednesday afternoon, according to a press release. State lawmakers banned the release of mugshots as a part of the 2020 executive budget, which was approved over the weekend.
The bill, once signed by New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, will make it illegal to release booking photos for all police agencies in the state. State troopers, as of Wednesday, already stopped the practice."

"
The new law allows law enforcement agencies to share photos of individuals taken at booking, also known as mugshots, only when there is a specific law enforcement purpose to do so. For example, these photos could be released if the public can assist police in locating a wanted suspect, finding additional witnesses or victims, or developing new leads in an ongoing investigation. The law is not designed to limit all access to these photos, but instead to protect the privacy rights of individuals involved in the justice system and to allow law enforcement agencies to determine when disclosure is reasonable given the circumstances."
"Broome County District Attorney Steve Cornwell says he agrees with Cuomo that there are issues with
mugshot access being abused by websites that post the photos and then demand payment to remove them, but, at the same time "the public needs to be on notice of certain people."
Mugshots, long thought of as public information in New York State, will no longer be accessible for the public and media. Not even under a Freedom of Information Law Request.
