Following the 43-year-old "Sexy Back" singer's arrest in Sag Harbor, New York on Tuesday, June 18, his mugshot was released and social media users couldn't help but point out its excellent lighting and make it a meme. However, the Sag Harbor Police Department tells PEOPLE that they produce the mugshots using a "standard Canon camera" tethered to the agency's booking computer with "no special lighting."
