Police generate hilarious response to huge mugshot fail
In the age of rapidly evolving technology and CCTV, not much slips past the higher legal powers

I mean the hairdresser should definitely be done for animal cruelty
Others thought the Police had accidentally uploaded a picture of their sim:
Lincoln weren't the only police force to release an E-fit that was unfit for public consumption:

Kent Police seemed to have accidentally released a photo of Anne Robinson's evil twin, and the public again were quick to see the funny side:
Does he live on a Nintendo Wii?

Maybe the police should stick to old school sketching and install the newest version of Sims if they want to avoid future graphic fails.
