Yeah I find the phone-taken images much worse than camera-taken even despite the astonishing number of megapixels and amount of technologies promised in the phones nowadays. Sadly most people don't buy the camera because it's too expensive and you need prepare yourself to take it with you (so the most photos are taken instantly with the phone)

If any legit museum, or attorney involved with Fourth Amendment issues, would like it, please contact me at nagle@animats.com. It's just sitting around. I bought it on eBay years ago, out of curiosity, and fixed it. I built a little control box to go with it, with a phone dial and a 9V battery, and found a source of paper tape and ink. So it can be demoed. If it ever is used in a court appearance or legislative testimony, that would be better than it sitting in a box.

So I found the page for this image: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pen_Register.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pen_Register.jpg then copied the full-size image's link... and sure enough. I guess they want to keep tabs on sites that hotlink their images and don't even practice good link hygiene.
