funny funny police. Shame they are unaware just how technology works

Digitally altering photos in Photoshop is pretty easy on a basic level. That also means folks with more knowledge can easily unalter such photos. 

The Waikato Police department in New Zealand learned this lesson the hard way after boasting about a new unmarked car on Facebook. A quick digital blackout hid the identity of the vehicle, but a simple image flip revealed it as Holden's version of the Chevrolet Equinox. How embarrassing.

The region's top traffic cop, Inspector Jeff Penno​ had previously had a press release that the new vehicles would be SUVs but all other details were kept a closely guarded secret.

He was ignorant, or a moron, as there was an official press release from New Zealand Police they distributed last July that talks about the Equinox undercover vehicles.
