Would they make a cancer patient on chemotherapy remove a wig for a mug shot?
Hookers (especially transvestite hookers) wear wigs and are required to remove them for mug shots.
My wig is not “wiggy” looking, it looks like real hair so how would they know it is not my real hair?

As part of standard booking procedure, anything not part of a person is removed and examined -— wigs (where weapons can be hidden), turbins, dentures, glass eyes, artificial limbs, whatever.
You would be amazed at what can be hidden where.
The police weigh personal rights vs. safety/security of prison all the time, and make “reasonable” accomodations.
