I used to work for Kodak doing "photofinishing" in college. We used to get all the rolls of film for overnight processing in Oregon, Idaho, and Washington. I was one of two people who worked in the digital room. My job was to spend all night scanning rolls of film and then it would get sent over to a computer where I would click on each photo so it was upright and then we would burn cds with the pictures.
This was back in 2000 and digital cameras were rare, expensive, and not the best quality. So we were how a lot of people got their film onto the Internet. I had a special number for the police on speed dial. A few times a week I would have to call because of kiddie porn. Clearly sexual stuff and not just kids in the bathtub. It always struck me as odd that people used our service since you actually had to pick up the cds. Where the police would be waiting for you.
We also had to process crime scene pictures for some smaller police stations. Lots of suicide pictures. I do not miss that job.
