Is It Just Me,

or can anyone else see a basic flaw in the wanted poster below?


on January 2nd, the Santa Marta police department published a poster of 12 of the most wanted criminals in the Colombian town, asking the general public for help in apprehending the alleged criminals, who were all members of the “Los Pachenca” drug cartel. All 12 individuals were also suspects in a series of criminal acts committed in Santa Marta in recent months, but here is the thing, there are no photographs of the suspects, just silhouettes and only nicknames of them, 

“It is very important that citizens help us identify the people who are affecting life throughout the city,” the police high command said, adding that “we are going to provide payments for data that allow us to identify them.” as you might expect reviews on Twitter were fast and furious, “First lead: they all look identical,” one person mocked the poster on Twitter, “That is the Colombian police investigation body. An outstanding job! They don’t post the photos because then they lose their salary,” someone else wrote, I am not sure what that one means, but there it is, if you have any information on the above criminals please contact the Santa Marta police department.
