Mugshot Laws for Chicopee Records
Access to Chicopee jail mugshots depends on timing. The Supervisor of Public Records issued opinion SPR10/152 in 2010 setting the standard. Booking photos taken before criminal proceedings start are public records under MGL c. 4, § 7(26). After a criminal complaint is filed, the mugshot falls under CORI restrictions defined in MGL c. 6, § 167. At that point, only authorized users can view it through official channels.
Chicopee Police have discretion under 803 CMR 7.10 to release mugshots tied to active cases if it serves an investigation. This is not guaranteed. It depends on the department. The Prince Lobel legal analysis explains how courts have treated this issue. The iCORI portal costs $25 per check and shows convictions and cases but not mugshots. Visit the CORI law page for more on access rules.
