I found one in Istanbul [0] (which now 404s) that somewhat fits the label and looks like it could have been a set on The Wire, but most of the "drug den" ones are just cramped, taken by someone who doesn't know how to take pi

In a criminal case, if you refuse to cooperate, ignore warrants, etc, the state can and will send in the police to arrest you and continue their investigation while you sit in jail. In a civil case, that power doesn't exist; opposing c

If your camera (or phone) uses the DCF standard [0], you will eventually end up with duplicates when you hit IMG_9999.JPG and it loops around to IMG_0001.JPG. Filename alone is an unreliable indicator. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.o

A $500m TIF district for a city that takes in $10m annually and holds <$100m in assets? I've seen some really dumb uses for TIFs before but this might just take the cake.
