Love the shots of the girls crying...they probably think they are taking full body shots!

Booking photos are public property in the US and there are many many photos released daily. Only a very small percentage of them are of detainees who appear to be topless or naked.
I think the arrest photo is one of a lot of events in the booking procedure and it appears to be on the whim of the booking officer whether to take the photo while the detainee is undressed, or just "as it comes" and the detainee is photographed while she (or he) just happens to be undressed at the time.
Certainly, most photos are of detainees clothed or in their prison clothing...
