A law enforcement source told our sister station, ABC7 Eyewitness News in New York, that the suspect’s unmasked smile came as he flirted with the front desk clerk who checked him into the hostel, and encouraged him to drop the mask so she could see his smile. The suspect obliged, pulling his mask down long enough for the surveillance camera to capture his face.
It isn’t necessary to have proper capabilities to perform actions as much as it is to have the perception to have the capabilities to perform the actions.
For example. The door greeters at Walmart do not stop theft, they deter it merely by their presence.
