Florida cops cage 'Dracula'

i finally get it!

if there was free health care in the states, yankee cops would be bereft of perp lolz. it all makes sense, now.

And the yanks still bang on about..

English bad teeth.

That's what'll happen without a nationalised health service! (Although in his case, I doubt that would help either.)

Obviously on private healthcare

This is what you get when you don't have a national health service, boys and girls.

Ye gods

And the Merkins take the mickey out of the Brits with their yellow teeth?!?

Although the only reason quite a few Yanks have pearly white teeth is because so many of them have all their teeth crowned. Personally I prefer my slightly off white teeth - at least they're not artificial.

British

He has to be British .

The goggles,

they do nothing

Twilight

So that's what Edward from Twilight *really* looks like! Unless the moderatrix is a twlight fan, in which case it's nothing like Ed :)

Looks like Shane McGowan

I guess you Brits aren't familiar with "Meth Mouth"? Pretty damned scary...

No the best one I've seen....

Was of a break and enter merchant who had been caught by the home owner, who decided that he could not trust the legal system to appropriately punish the miscreant. So after hog tying the the prep up he scribed the word "THIEF" onto his forehead. 3 months later in court apparently the scar was still there.

Now that's summary justice

Before us Brit-tards get too smug...

We don't have nationalised dental care any more either. Just try signing up with an NHS dentist nowadays...

Not sure I'm too comfortable with police publishing random mugshots of people who haven't been proved guilty 'just for a laugh' though.

Huh.

That was unexpected. Inbred much? :\

NHS dentists

I don't live in the UK, but I work at a company that provides software for the dental industry, and I can assure you NHS dentistry is still alive. It's hard to find an NHS dentist that's accepting new patients, but it is possible - you just have to travel a bit further (like, the other side of town, or to another town).

(AC, because it's related to my work).

Re: Bad Teeth

"goes well with the lousy food"

I agree, all that Burger King, McDonalds, Pizza Hut and KFC is crap.

C'mon, you idiots ...

The pic was obviously gimped.

He's obviously a Reg reader

As he looks like the sorta guy that cant tell the difference between Bootnotes and the rest of the site.

@Not too fast

My teeth were not horrendous and my orthodontistry was completely and utterly free, and not bad either. The rest of my dental treatment is not, and I'm not a woman so I can't get pregnant and get it done for free 'while I'm at it'. It is, however, heavily subsidised (partly by the gov, partly by people paying on denplan et al) to the point of being deemed a pretty good deal.

With 'added' bite?

Methinks the clue is in the title.

This looks like a photoshop job to me.

wtf?

that site has their full personal details + photo + arrest reason for everyone they arrest... that site also has their call logs for every call they've received, i had a quick look at a couple of other US police force websites and they have similar info on all arrests made - what the hell? do they have no privacy laws at all there??? some even included details for minor traffic stops, including a listing that someone was stopped for an improper lane change!

i'm a firm believer in the government publishing information about everything it does so we can keep an eye on them, but i'm an even stronger believer in the right to privacy - and especially in the right to not have the police telling everyone i'm a criminal until a court has ruled on the matter

AC because it seems appropriate!

Re: Justice is a beauty contest

Actually you're spot on as studies have shown that beautiful people are more likely to be found not guitly by a jury and ugly ones get harder sentences.

To all the namby pamby liberals, lighten up, the guys ugly so we can't laugh? What else don't you want us to laugh at or about?

@Jason Bloomberg

I can't see on commenter who has suggested he must be guilty because of looks. PIf you are going to berate then at least do so for the right reason.

some cultural insights

For the unenlightened, there's a wiki for "meth mouth" (don't go there if you're eating...). The reasons so many people (probably Americans) have labeled this guy a "meth mouth" are a)well obviously his teeth, but b)Meth production (and addiction) is associated with low-income types as it is relatively easy to produce with OTC ingredients. It is associated with "rural hick" stereotypes because it requires that your neighbors not live too close, since the production area smells tremendously awful. This is not a Hollywood party drug. I should add, I know this mostly from watching the news, *not* personal experience lol.

Couple other comments: @Cazzo Enorme: No we don't. Hollywood celebs? Maybe. Believe it or not, they represent a minority. Go to the toothpaste aisle of any store here and you will find a plethora of whitening toothpastes. Does that make us vain? Perhaps, but you have to brush your teeth anyway, don'tcha? Why not de-stain while your cleaning?

I also find it unlikely that, even if he isn't a drug addict, the deplorable condition of his teeth is no fault of his own.

@peyton

"Go to the toothpaste aisle of any store here and you will find a plethora of whitening toothpastes."

And if you ask a dentist who isn't trying to maximise the money they can make out of you, they will give you the honest explanation that teeth whitening products damage the enamel. It's a bit like food colouring or waxing of fruit - it's about the perception of what's good or healthy rather than what is good or healthy.

That's all public record in the US , unless you are minor. You`can have arrest removed from you record .

@@peyton

1)Was responding to primarily to your claim that we're all getting are teeth crowned 2)You don't have to use whitening toothpastes forever and always 3)googled around - couldn't find a single study to support the claim against the toothpastes anyway... gels/strips are another story 4)no one said we perceive white teeth as healthy... we also tan the hell out of ourselves, smoke, binge drink... lots of stuff 'cos we want, not 'cos it's healthy.
