Summary[edit]

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Black and white photo of DCI Alec Eist outside the Old Bailey, London, probably in the early 1970s
Author or copyright owner	Unknown photographer @Bryants Old Bailey Picture Service
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Original publication: Unknown file photo Immediate source: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/corrupt-cops-accepted-bribes-worth-24977069
Date of publication	Unknown, but probably soon after it was taken; definitely (re)published in 2021 by the Daily Mirror.
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Alec Eist
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	for visual identification of the person in question, at the top of their biographical article
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	Subject has been dead since 1982; no further images of him can be taken, and the odds of a freely licenced image surfacing after over 40 years would appear to be vanishingly small.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	It will only be used in this article, the one time, in its current (deliberately) crappy resolution.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	A 40-year-old grainy black-and-white file photo already published elsewhere will not harm the commercial prospects of Bryants Old Bailey Picture Service, a firm whose corporate or fiduciary descendants I have been unable to trace.
Other information	The subject of the photograph has been deceased since: 27 January 1982
