This is nonsensical; if they're not following the law they will simply ... not publish the mugshots.

Besides, the police have no need to "disappear" people when they have guns and an almost impossible to challenge right to fire indiscriminately into dwellings (Breonna Taylor).

Some procedures are harder to violate without getting caught than others.

Not all cops will cooperate with the corrupt ones. And if some of them want you to disappear, they will need to hide it from the others; procedures are intended to make this harder.
