I think the whole touching the ear piece is a misunderstanding of what people were doing back when these ear pieces were just ear pieces and the mic was actually around the wrist. So the agent/cop holds their hand up to their mouth, which caused some writers and directors to think that they were touching their ears to talk. There's probably also some cases where the actor is doing that because they're supposed to pressing the ear piece against their ear more in order to hear better., once again causing some writers and directors to think that these ear pieces are push to talk.

As a Photoshop user for decades, I can tell you 100% that there's an absolute limit to how much you can enhance an image and it's largely dependent on resolution. And a crappy low-res security game isn't going to provide you with a crystal clear image no matter how much you try to enhance it.
Several tv shows have made jokes about the "can you enhance?" thing. I know Last Man Standing did it and The Fall of the House of Usher did it.
I think it's a tic, like a personal eccentricity. Lots of people do it when we're thinking hard.
That's where his OnStar™ button is.
Exactly; you only have so much to work with, which is why it's easier to reduce a larger image down to a lower resolution than to blow up a smaller one to higher resolution.
You get the pixels you get; there isn't anything "hidden" in them. no matter how hard you shake'em.

My favorite was security cam footage from maybe 2010 where they took a single frame and were able to pull a bad guys face from a reflection in someone elses retina....just no bleeping way unless they were using 128k video (which is still several years away).
This is why I hate when people take an SD video and upscale to 4K. The extra resolution is imaginary!
The recent trend in naming conventions. Here are a few:
Aquaman: Lost Kingdom
Godzilla v Kong: New Empire
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
The Last Kingdom
I swear, the titles have to be some evidence that these scripts are AI generated. I'm sure The Last of the Kingdom: Final Empire: Realm of the New World has been shot down a few times now.

One might get the impression that Hollywood has no idea what an “empire” or “kingdom “ is…

I appreciate the wordplay in the Ghostbusters title, New York being the Empire State. And Planet of the Apes titles have to fit the existing pattern, so what else do you call the movie showing the ape civilization?
Planet of the Apes.

Planet of the Apes is about a man who loses his mind and believes he is an astronaut. There were never any apes.
Did you notice that all of his interactions after he lost his companions were with doctors, guards and prisoners?
