IS IT me! Am I alone in wondering why these photo-fit pictures of criminals at work are of such poor quality?

Surely in this day and age of modern technology we are capable of producing a camera that could count the pimples on your chin?

Yet week in and week out, TV programmes such as Crimewatch ask us to put a name to this face.

Or the article in The Press (Cyclist Thug In The Frame, July 20), in which it took me a while to find the cycle, let alone the thug? With quality so poor, CCTV in its present form is a complete waste of taxpayers’ money.

So come on, you guys – at least give us a clue then together we may be able to make the streets safer for us all!
