Why are some people so happy in their mug shot? Are they planning to use it for political clout?

[–] OberonSwanson@sh.itjust.works 48 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Of course, they know Republican voters that elect them will enjoy the trolling.

[–] Delusional@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yup. They don't give a flying fuck about honesty or integrity. That's been proven time and time again.

[–] Pinklink@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Some do they are just brainwashed. Had one blue collar coworker tell me “I think Fox News gives the most unbiased news”

[–] mustardman@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It is generally a psychological tactic to make you publicly seem innocent. The typical resting-face mugshot make people not seem as friendly, and therefore guilty.

The issue is when it comes to trial it does the exact opposite. I've heard time and time again to be nothing but stoic if you ever get booked because the prosecution will claim you smiling in your mugshot shows you have no remorse.

lol trump seems to have embraced the flip side of that coin, looking grumpier than ever. Obviously it didn't interfere with his schedule too much though considering he obviously got that fresh spray tan done the morning of

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 year ago

That's the face of 0 consequences lol

The turned the lights on so bright that one guy had to squint, makes him look like he's smiling.

"We have ways of making you smile..." -- The police mugshot guy probably

short answer would be they aren't taking it seriously, and it helps support their 'fake trial' stance.

"Select All"

Made me chuckle.

At last, we get a captcha that is actually doable.

[–] gamey@feddit.rocks 1 points 1 year ago

Techincally easy but a true mental struggle to look at!

Man, the Bradys haven't aged well.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Except for Wayne, of course. This is him at 51:

[–] Wage_slave@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's like the periodic table of incompetence.

[–] elrik@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You'd have to at least rearrange it so the heaviest elements are at the bottom.

[–] gamey@feddit.rocks 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you mean the fattest or most corrupt?

[–] elrik@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

There are two axes on the periodic table...

The Traity Bunch

The only captcha I ever want to see

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That lady laughing it up, I can't wait for her sentencing photo to put up next to it

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

Isn't she the one who made her own fake mugshot in order to feel included?

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

She got fired from a rural Colorado DA office for being incompetent, then ran around with a self appointed title as a "constitutional expert"

The living embodiment of a skid mark in underwear.

[–] imgprojts@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

The smiling ones don't get it yet.... Trump will get Scott free but not them. They are the "escape goats"🐐🐐🐐. They'll stop smiling when they get it.

[–] robinn2@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Don’t call them traitors or I’m gonna critically support

Powell looks like she's being booked for drowning her 2yo child

[–] lorez@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Oh, no Trump is a genius, as some Lemmings point out to me in another thread.

One of them looks like the day Creed Bratton dyed his hair with the printer toner cartridge.

[–] andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun 1 points 1 year ago
