Nothing wrong with my comprehension but YOU, like the video are exaggerating the guys qualifications. The man was a POLICE OFFICER NOT A PHOTOGRAPHER and PHOTOGRAPHY WAS NOT HIS MAIN JOB. Unless you are blind, unable to read or making an attempt to deliberately have people believe he was a professional photographer - he states this in his interview! You're the one misinterpreting NO WHERE does it state that he is a specialist or a professional photographer.
You clearly know nothing about the history of the Scenes of Crime Division. Police officers moved in and out of the SOCO department before it became a civilian role (and they were given proper training). Up until that time, SOCO's had limited experience!
History
SOCOs were first introduced into the Metropolitan Police in 1968, replacing the CID officers who had previously carried out these functions. Some other forces had introduced them before that time, however.
Other police forces around the United Kingdom continued this trend of replacing the CID officers with civilians. This allowed the creation of dedicated departments within the police forces. Police officers often moved post after only a few years; the introduction of civilian Scenes of Crime Officers allowed departments to build a resource based on experience

It is self evident that there is much wrong with your comprehension. That is just a shouty rant and an irrelevant wiki reference.
To address just one of your extended shouts.
Yes it does state that he is a specialist or professional photographer. Read it again if you missed it. He goes to the mortuary to do his "specialist job". Bird himself states that he is a photographer three times. His main role is obviously referring to the role he performs most of the time. This is because his specialist role is only required for major incidents.
The rest of us are up to speed on this, it's just you and Jane struggling to keep up, deliberately I suspect, although I don't entirely rule out your comprehension skills being this poor.
It is obvious to most here that EP employed PC Bird as a specialist crime scene photographer along with two other specialist photographers. Given the importance of the role and the need for a specialist to be available 24/7, the three specialist officers were put on a rota to make sure that a crime scene photographer was always available should a major incident occur.
In order to usefully employ these specialists they are given other roles to perform when not needed for their rarely used specialist role. Thus the sometimes difficult balancing act of obtaining value for money whilst still providing 24/7 specialist cover is achieved.
Everyone else can already see that simply by reading the excerpts that you posted.
You are free to believe that Bird and the two other officers were randomly assigned these duties, but you are clearly wrong.
Do you think that this was Bird's first job? Do you think his usual practice was to mess up crime scene pictures and this was never acted upon?
It surely would have come up if officers kept messing up crime scene photographs. If he didn't normally mess them up then how do reach the conclusion that he did so this time because of amateurish incompetence?
Your theory falls apart on contact with reason.
