others arrive at they would be pat down, led to the booking office in the rear. from there, they probably will have to have ties and shoe strings and all those type of things taken. then from there, the persons would be fingerprinted, given a booking photo. donald trump and the other defendants are expected to be photographed for mug shots, but it s unclear when the pictures will be made public. people familiar with the process say normally, people booked are searched thoroughly by a deputy and give n a medical exam and a screening. but it s not clear if trump or the other defendants in this case will go through those steps. for a normal defendant, it would take hours to go through those procedures. i don t expect trump to spend hours in the jail. it s a pain. but it s going to be a hassle
