OnelargeprawnI love the smell of gender and racial stereotyping in the morning. Pick the Perp is a cool time waster where you need to use your inner-prejudice to correctly guess which person was charged for the crime shown based on their mugshot. For some people it’s just like looking at a family photo album.
Test your profiling skills at Pick the Perp. I correctly matched 6 perps in 20 lineups (30%). Let us know how you did.

The discerning writers (all three of them) at The Smoking Gun selected 20 booking photos selected from among the tens of thousands to bring you the 2008 Mug Shots of the Year.
July 28 – Spencer Taylor (20), from Michigan was arrested for allegedly trying to steal Batman posters and other collectibles from a theater showing “The Dark Knight.” The cops made him pose for booking photos in and out of character.
January 2 – Robert Morin (39) was being sought on a warrant for domestic assault. The above mug shot was taken on a previous arrest – Morin had become quite flexible after having removed his teeth.
December 4 – Michael Campbell (33) from Colorado has been in and out of jail between 2003 and 2008 and seems to have spent his time getting inked. The first set of photos show Campbell following a 2003 theft arrest; the second set shows Campbell booked six weeks ago. That polka dot bow tie is quite handsome.
