"Camera Obscura" is a Vice street crime case in L.A. Noire.

SituationEdit

In this case, Phelps will have to track down a pervert, Marlon Hopgood.

Dispatch Call ScriptEdit

Dispatch: Any Central unit, citizen reports suspicious activity on a trolley car on Fountain Ave. Stand by for further information. Any Central unit.

Cole Phelps: Car 11 King, go ahead with the further.

Dispatch: 11K, see the woman, a 288 just occurred on the Angelino Heights trolley, currently stopped near Fountain and Bronson. Call in for further information. 11K, Code Two.

Cole Phelps: 11K, roger.

Roy Earle: A 288. Now that's more like it. You can't go wrong with a little lewd conduct.

WalkthroughEdit

The case begins with Phelps interviewing the victim of the act. She claims that a man took a private snapshot of her with his camera. When Phelps asks where he went, the woman sights the man harassing another woman across the street and points him out. Phelps and Earle rush toward him, but the suspect sees them, tosses the camera in his car, and starts driving away. Phelps and Roy get in their car and chase after him. The chase goes through many alley ways and lots before the suspect's vehicle is hit by a tram and he is arrested.

Note: Roy will not shoot the suspect's wheels, so there is a bit more difficulty to arrest him before he crashes his car. It's easier to just follow Hopgood till he crashes into the trolley, as he drives very fast and takes very sharp corners, and getting hung up on just one corner could mean having to restart the case.

TriviaEdit

• The translation of the street crime in Spanish, "Las Cámaras se Oscurece", roughly translates in English to "The Camera Darkens", referring to Hopgood's type of perversion in the mission.Also, "Camera Obscura" means "Dark camera" in Portuguese.
• Although a Vice Informant (as said in The Fallen Idol) by Roy Earle he is still aressted and Roy does not object to his arrest.
