The police should have forensic photography tools just for that job. That said it's not like CSI Luton or where ever, they cant read a watch from a blured CCTV, it can make shots look better in some cases, mostly to help read number plates, but theres a limit to what can be done.
I saw one tried a few years back, it sort of helped a bit but I wouldn't hang it on my wall.
Personally I dont think you should be doing it, any "tampering" by you will probably make it inadmissable as evidence. I'm not a lawyer though.
