    Why do those photos look like they were taken on a camera from the 70s? FBI budget must be shit these days

      This looks like a poorly lit area, so they're using a camera flash or another point source near the camera to take these photos.

      Flash photography has largely become a thing of the past because cameras have gotten so much better in low-light. This is because the reason old photos look so shitty is mostly due to the proximity of the light source to the lens.
