Webcam mystery

I saw this webcam on the site that Iamwhoiam posted in The Surveillance State and the Transformation of Society thread:

For at least a few weeks (guessing by the comments), this webcam has focused on a wall with eight mugshot-like photos of four or five people pinned up on it.

webcam link: http://www.insecam.org/en/view/344140/

:shrug:

Sometimes the light in the room is brighter but I screen-grabbed it, cropped and did about 60% auto-levels for better contrast, but it's clearer in the streaming webcam image linked above (which could go offline at any time).

Anyone recogonize the photos?

Thanks, Elfi. I got a brighter image from the cam and replaced the first one in the OP above, and I'll drop it here too...

I'm sure there are other reasons, but perhaps they posted their photos because they once passed bad checks and want to prevent a repeat performance?

Any possibility of isolating individual pics to do a photo search for each?

Good theory as any so far, thanks.

I did think of isolating the photos and image-searching, might make time to do that.
