When the hell....
When the hell is someone going to teach Boston Police & Transit Police that if you want help identifying someone show us the original sill footage--not a picture someone took with their phone of a tv monitor showing the image! Jesus Christ, I'd think this was a joke, but they do this ALL THE TIME! The shitty resolution and poor coloring is 90% caused by not using the original still-frame from the security camera!!!
Now now
expecting Boston government officials to do things sensibly is like expecting a six-year-old to write and perform a piano sonata. Theoretically possible, but don't hold your breath.
This is how it looks on the monitor as well....
Actually looks better than the one I'm looking at right now, so I'm not so sure there is much more they can do, but if you know better, call them up and let them know.
What is your problem?
The BPDnews logo looks great!
Joking aside, they really do need better equipment.
Cameras
The cameras lead the development of security systems. They have the capability of capturing incredible quality, but the recording devices are what lag behind. Well, they could buy better recording devices but it's cost prohibitive.

One would think there would be value in improving quality though, for the very reason this discussion is focused around. If this was an image of the person robbing your store, wouldn't you want a better quality image so the suspect could more easily be identified? Or, say, if someone was shot just down the street from your store...
I don't disagree
You buy the best you can with the money you have in that line item in your budget. We know how well the T does with the tracks, cameras fall somewhere down on the priority list. Didn't they buy some facial recognition tech? All homeland security- like?
I don't think you know how
I don't think you know how this works.
Oh, come on now...

He is identified and the purpose of the photo
release in this instance is to let him know the whole world knows.
