[USMA:35901] Metric mugshots in the US?

[Remek Kocz]

Every now and again I see mugshots with two sets of units in the background.  Inches on the right, and centimeters on the left.  I've attached a sample photo with this message.

I believe that all the ones I've seen are of US origin.  And I don't think there is any international context to these mugshots either, so it begs the question why in the US, where feet and inches are used exclusively for height?
