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.

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.

massive boner

or a little chubby.

[–] demlet 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ha, fair. I was using the term "massive" in a relative sense.

compared to his hands?

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Certainly odd camera angle, plus bad lighting and maybe an atypical focal length (for what the avg person is used to seeing)?
