[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Ward Weaver III
Description	Mugshot of Ward Weaver III, from About.com. Copyright assumed owned by the Oregon Department of Corrections.
Source	http://z.about.com/d/crime/1/0/9/2/weaver.jpg
Article	Ward Weaver III
Portion used	Whole mugshot
Low resolution?	Yes
Purpose of use	To illustrate the individual person in question.
Replaceable?	Possibly, but now that he is incarcerated for a life sentence, it is highly unlikely that this can ever be replaced with a free use picture...unless his family were to release a picture of him into the public domain, which is unlikely.

[edit] Licensing

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 booking consistent with non-free content criteria,
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:Non-free content.

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.
