On-the-run man calls demands better police mugshot on Facebook in cheeky exchange

A man being hunted by Victoria Police responded to a post from the force for information on his location, cheekily asking if they could use a better mugshot.

As police forces the world over take to social media platforms to benefit from their use in gathering and sending information, such exchanges between crook and cop will likely become more common.

An appeal from Aussie cops for 25-year-old Daniel Damon for traffic and drug offences went sour after he criticised his mugshot on Facebook.

In response, Victoria Police invited him to pop in for a new mugshot in a humorous exchange.

It is believed that Daniel may be living in St Kilda.
