Better Than a Security Camera

Better Than a Security Camera

By Elton Camp

Most pictures of a robbery taking place
Are a fuzzy, blurry and show no face

It’d be possible to get better than those
If the perp would just willingly pose

Even post his own picture for all to see
How great for the police that would be

In Georgia, a man stole a cellular phone
Maybe took his picture after he had gone

But that phone was absolutely the most
‘Twas set on automatic, Facebook to post

A suspect’s picture it then did provide
So that an easier capture can be tried

Will there be a Constitutional examination
If he lost freedom from self-incrimination?

By the way, the story here is sure real
Google it if only imaginary it does feel
