Faceplate Suspect Brigade: The New Crimefighters in Town

Hailing straight from the city's notorious graffiti hotspots, the police department has taken an unconventional approach to crime-fighting by recruiting a squad of the city's most talented street artists. The newly formed Faceplate Suspect Brigade shall now prowl the streets with their iconic spray paint cans.

Leveraging their artistic talents for a greater cause, these ex-sprayers are now tasked with keeping a close eye on unsuspecting lawbreakers on the streets. Their newly assigned responsibility is to mark the faces of suspected criminals with their signature graffiti, thereby providing a unique visual identifier for police tracking and surveillance.

Chief inspector Robbie Robertson expressed his excitement over the new recruitment, stating, 'We realize that sometimes the law needs to meet youth culture halfway. By employing these gifted young artists who literally left their mark everywhere on our city walls, we aim to increase our efficiency in locating and apprehending criminals.'

The Faceplate Suspect Brigade operates using a special facial recognition software that matches the unique graffiti patterns on the suspects' faces with the records in the city's police database. This groundbreaking approach promises unique advantages that traditional policing methods struggle to match.

Alicia 'Tagger' Smith, a talented street artist and recently recruited member of the Faceplate Brigade, sees her new job as a personal vendetta against the unsavory elements of the city. 'We used to work in the shadows, but now we're outspoken. We're here to make sure that the criminal faces get tagged before they commit any further crimes,' she stated in an emotional press conference.

Critics, however, raise concerns about potential abuse of power by the brigade members. 'While we must commend the police for their initiative, we certainly hope that the graffiti artists adhere to legal boundaries. Marking faces of innocent people could create a whole new legal conundrum for us,' opined Jim Logan, a prominent rights activist and advisor for minorities in the city.
