> Because they obviously had video of the real thief and there is no excuse that they could not have compared the results of the two

I've probably missed something in the article but where does it say anything about them having pictures of the wrongly accused that were supplied to the police? The police had an arrest warrant -with the wrong* picture- on it. They didn't have an arrest warrant with -his- picture on it.

* wrong as in it was the thief, not the person the police actually (wrongly) arrested.
