Passport Hacker (2021)
In February 2021 I received a letter from the German registration office that my passport photo had expired and must be renewed after ten years. When I went to a photo booth to take a new picture, I was faced with a bunch of rules. These rules are strict and have to meet different requirements:
Look straight ahead / No closed eyes / No smile / No hat / No hair on the face / No glasses
The machine gives direct feedback as to whether the required rules have been met. My idea was to outsmart the system with obvious rule bans, that still aren’t forbidden particularly. After numerous visits to the photo booth, I finally submitted one of the ideas to the office and it actually worked out.
