[edit] Summary

a NYPD mugshot of Sicilian mafiosi Peter Morello appearing at Mugshots.com I believe the photo, which is the public domain, falls under fair use as a historically significant photo of a famous individual and used for informational purposes.

This image 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. It is believed that the use of this photograph

to illustrate the person in question,
where no free alternative exists or could be created,
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work.
