Portland Now Has a Live Twitter Feed for Arrested Suspects (mugshots included)

Picture 80Correct me if I’m wrong, but this has to be a first.

There is now an unofficial Twitter feed with apparent real time updates of suspects arrested by the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office. The feed contains the suspect’s name, age, reason for arrest and then a link to a more detailed page with mugshot included.

We’re not sure who exactly put this together because of the fact that the profile link goes to a random site with not much on it. The sheriff’s office website has no link back to the but does however have a Twitter account of its own with public updates.

This is of hardly any use but mildly entertaining all the same wouldn’t you say?

    that is weird! i wonder who is doing this. the information is available to anyone who wants to go to the MCSO website and look up Inmate Data. it is all live real time data.
  • This is simply wrong.

    Live feed of convicted details would be good. This is inciting a mob. I wonder if they tweet when someone is occasionally found not guilty due to a vexatious complaint
  • You're wrong
