Replaceable?	Cannot create a free replacement for a copyrighted police sketch that would adequately convey the same information
Other information	I 99Daniel Case), the uploader, believe we should be lax about our image policy in the case of police sketches (or, for that matter, camera screenshots) of unidentified, still-at-large criminal suspects, regardless of whether such images were created by a U.S. federal agency or not. Their creators distribute them freely and encourage their wide reproduction, making them de facto free images, and certainly the exposure such sketches get when added to Wikipedia articles that discuss in whole or part these crimes might one day help to solve the case.
