CAN LAMBERT WITHHOLD GIANFORTE'S MUG SHOT?
Under the Montana Constitution, Article 2, Section 9, Right to Know, "No person shall be deprived of the right to examine documents or to observe the deliberations of all public bodies or agencies of state government and its subdivisions, except in cases in which the demand of individual privacy clearly exceeds the merits of public disclosure." This right belongs to all Montanans. It is limited only by a defendant's right to privacy. The Right to Know under Montana's constitution is probably the best route for disclosure of Gianforte's mug shot.
