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?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 89 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Ferris@discuss.online 1 points 1 year ago

compared to his hands?

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but even Giuliani is making the same scowl, and that guys a total dope.

[–] GingerPale@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Cops are the only photographers in the world better at setting up the lighting for black people.

[–] meldroc@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] poppy@lemm.ee 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)?
