It was the law! If you did drugs you had to register with the police. I don't know what they do today. Probably like fishing - Catch and Release !
Newark took this seriously back in the day. They almost put Kodak out of business due to all the film they used to take photos of all the fine upstanding people that filled their narcotic registry in 1950.
The card above shows six head shots (mug shot) of an individual with his name and gallery number. There also is a small folder to hold and protect the picture. This one was taken on July 18, 1952.
I have this original mug shot framed and ready to go to the Orlando Show to use as as one of my display items.
