I am not an expert in photography, but here are my observations:

The photographer is not at a right angle to the car. As you can see the reflection of the stripe of the officer’s pants several inches in front of him, the A pillar on the passenger side, the rear window “frames” not lining up and can easily see the back of head rest on the passenger side seat.

The officer doesn’t look like he is touching the driver’s side mirror, so he is a minimum of 8-12 inches away from the car possibly more .

Looking at the way the cops body is bladed, hips perpendicular to the car, rifle in the shoulder pocket, his left arm against his body and his left forearm arm parallel to or pointing away from the car door. This would leave the muzzle over and in front of his left foot about 18-24 inches.

If you twist the picture in your mind until the window frames match up I think you will see the gun is behind the driver’s shoulder and pointing towards the back seat in front of the rear tires.


After looking again it doesn’t look as bad as the quick glance does.

It is like pool, all about the angles.
