I'm with Raven. If that's the best image a camera can capture you may as well uninstall them!

there's nothing wrong with the camera- the photo can easily be cropped and enlarged to clearly show the suspect's face- the JC Press should have done that before it was published so the readers might help identify him.

Looks like he's done this before and knows how to pose.

rambler, the camera should capture a viable image. Not something that has to be manipulated in order to be useful.
