Always Smile For Your Police Booking Photo

Advice from Peter Huebl:

Police show those photos to crime witnesses to establish legal identifications of suspects enabling arrests and indictments. Eye witnesses are absolutely unreliable and will almost never identify a picture of someone with a broad smile in a photo lineup. They always go for a face with the nasty scowl...

In cases with media interest editors and news directors always love to redundantly publish those really rude looking and sensational booking photos...The media does not want bore their readers and viewers with routine pleasant faces.

Getting arrested and charged with a crime is an unpleasant experience especially if you’re actually innocent. Trying to muster a smile at a difficult time like that is nearly impossible. If you can manage to smile it may help you immensely.
