Like many, I want to know why TFG's mugshot doesn't match the others. He's

not standing as close to the backdrop and looks like he got a different camera angle.

operating the camera probably didn't think it was worth the hassle to correct him.

He seems to be standing much closer to the camera, and the sheriff's insignia is much smaller.

You can see it hits the top of his head instead of his face like all the others. He had a good look at the other terrible mugshots and obviously refused to stand by the wall.

Fat people tend to have off-kilter posture when they wear heels. One would expect them to lean back, but they usually assume this weird position of butt far back, upper body a bit (or a lot) forward, as if they're balancing two disparate parts that don't want to work together. Which they are.

His arse might also be so large that it's nearly impossible for him to stand with his shoulders against the wall. I'm guessing his butt is against the wall, and the rest is the lean from his heels.

He also didn't want his neck fat to show, so he let his head drop down, pushing it even more toward the camera.

And that's how we get a mugshot that horrifying.
