What is it with all these mug shots having a similar scowl going on?
And looking like they were photographed with a webcam from 2004?
How do you afford quality cameras when your budget goes to militarization of the force?
Have you ever been booked? It's because it is almost certainly a webcam and a very old one at that.
Can confirm
Sadly can also confirm
This guy jails
Been the jailed never the jailer.
Nuh uh! Mine was at least taken with a webcam from 2010
He's trying to look defiant and outraged. Guy knows how to work his marks. I guarantee you every Republican looking at that photo is getting a massive boner over it.
or a little chubby.
Ha, fair. I was using the term "massive" in a relative sense.
Sad but true
Sad!
Yeah, but even Giuliani is making the same scowl, and that guys a total dope.
The tee shirts are probably rolling off the press minutes after the photo was released.
Police officers and cameras don't seem to get along very well.
Cops are the only photographers in the world better at setting up the lighting for black people.
Camera angle... The camera looks like it's set up high, so arrestees have to tilt their heads up when getting their mugshots. Tends to give people a Kubrick Stare.
Certainly odd camera angle, plus bad lighting and maybe an atypical focal length (for what the avg person is used to seeing)?
