I sent them the TMZ link to part of the original police report along with links to the story yesterday. This morning I got e-mails saying that the police dept isn't releasing the mug shot (why not?) and that the TMZ report was 'leaked' but with no indication why that should make a difference, and that they 'don't have anything'. I don't see why it would matter since the police dept is saying it is not engaging in a cover up, and Gibson has all but admitted to the remarks and apologized. So instead they are running some lame-ass Lindsay Lohan Story that has nothing to do with anything legal. WTF...have they jumped the shark?

Is a mug-shot public information? I know Court TV is now affiliated with (owns?) 'the smoking gun' website now; would this make a difference?
