Dear Editor,
I am dismayed! I continue to be less than impressed by the attempts of the GPF to apprehend crime, given their simplistic approach and the paucity of firm and intelligent action on their part. I refer to the ‘updated’ wanted bulletin of Rondell Rawlins posted in KN Feb 2, 2008.
The GPF or whoever is responsible for that image needs to be reminded that simply using an application that erases “Fineman’s” locks certainly does not adequately provide an image of what he looks like currently.
I can suggest April Age Progression Software v. 2.4 that provides among other things: 3D Component which allows the user to work with an image of a face in various positions; more flexibility with starting age: the software can age a child as young as 6, or an adult as old as 72 years of age; incorporate lifestyle factors into the aging process and demonstrate how factors such as cigarette smoking, as well as over exposure to the sun affect aging of the face; flexibility of various combinations of side by side comparisons; high resolution aging.
For the more technologically challenged GPF, in other words, the software can give you an almost accurate representation of what Rawlins should look like today. So putting a picture (that did not even properly delete the hair elements) of what Rawlins would look like “without hair” is a very poor attempt at a current image of his identity. Maybe an attempt at what he would look like impersonating a woman, with a wig of some other sort on, or with a suit and tie and well lined beard might have been more relevant since there are instances in the past where criminals have been know to use several guises to freely manoeuvre among the citizenry.
Yours faithfully,
Helen Moses
