A new law has one Southern California police department posting Lego heads instead of mugshots.

In an Instagram post from Monday, the Murrieta Police Department said they started doing this because of a new state law implementing restrictions for law enforcement agencies on social media. 

"The Murrieta Police Department prides itself in its transparency with the community, but also honors everyone's rights & protections as afforded by law; even suspects," the department wrote in the post.

The new state law, Assembly Bill 994, prohibits law enforcement from sharing identifying photos or mugshots of nonviolent crime suspects. However, a police department or sheriff's office can post a suspect's booking photo under special circumstances, including tracking down the suspect if authorities believe they are a threat to the community.
