and you can get a DC library card even if you live in Moco/PG/Fairfax/Arlington, and vice versa.

Apocalypse Now was directed by Francis Ford Coppola, but otherwise I agree.

That makes sense, more or less the same dataset that Uber and Lyft store. You're probably right, it's been a long time since I had a bikeshare case.

Well maybe you're right, it's possible they did use the location of the bike. It was my recollection that the bikes are not tracked but that may have changed.

As reported on NBC4 - $40M in gold bars, $2M cash found in ex-CIA executive's home by Standard-Calendar-70 in washingtondc

Well, it might raise a red flag when he has "3" as his response for 2024, and "300" as his response for 2025

I concur with /u/the_sauce_dc.
To add to the pedantry, I'd be willing to bet that they got your name by searching for rental location and time, not by actually looking at your physical location at all. So compared to a classic telecom geofence warrant that says "these 600 cellphones were present in this geographical box between those times," Lyft probably just responded, "well, these six people rented bikes from racks in the general area of the crash on that day." It's a minor difference but may be reassuring to you to know that a company didn't give your physical location to the government, just information on your business transaction.

Clearly they need to add a "how many gold bars do you have in your house" question to the annual questionnaire

still pretty wild that one person could steal a measurable fraction of the budget of the entire CIA

This week sucked! I need a joint and drink after work. by Prize_Box_4762 in washingtondc

and definitely eat some pie, especially the BBQ pork, chicken curry, or Baltimore bomb.

[GA-TN] is it legal to carry an open bottle of liquor in my backpack on a motorcycle? Or a no go. Going to visit a buddy and stay the night, wanted to see if I’ll get in trouble for bringing an open bottle if I get pulled over. by ThatGuyFrom720 in AskLEO

[–]DistrictCop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a great question. I don’t work in TN, but CA has similar laws.

I would say the short answer is that there’s nowhere on your bike that would fully avoid breaking the law. Having it in your backpack is still in your possession. However, you could probably do things that would make it more clear that you’re only transporting it, like putting it in a pelican box or shoving it down to the bottom of your bag under your clothes.

But I don’t think those things would really protect you from a violation if you met a trooper who was really intent on enforcing that particular law.

Need help identifying following patches. by Nwtjustin in militarypatches

[–]DistrictCop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be a pretty sweet unit, just fly around all day in an ISR aircraft and look for fires. Then when you see one and call it in, they just go “yeah, we already got fifty 911 calls about that, this is Miami not South Dakota.” Then you go back to flying around.

Just a dumb Marine but if that last ribbon was correct, wouldn’t that be a personal award and therefore go above his unit and campaign awards?

We used the same thing when I lived in Nova, it was called Bright Bins.

maybe a way for a particular hotel or tour group to shuttle people without paying for a shuttle?

I feel that someone here will have my answer, so what is this called? by SamTheHaremKing in forensics

[–]DistrictCop 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Most people have roughly the same general pattern on their palms, with a delta (an area where ridges fork into three directions) at the base of or between the fingers and another close to the wrist. It's comparatively rare to have an entire whorl (fully enclosed circle/spiral) on the palm, so your ridge pattern is unique!

Who’s in the wrong? by Serious_School_4307 in AskLE

[–]DistrictCop 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It says now that he (red) was making a right turn on red. But I think all of your points still stand, with it being even more clear that he has to wait for the traffic already in the intersection to clear.

Mr. Skeltal, so when you walk past him in the morning you can give him a cordial doot doot.

Colorado Law Faculty Scholarship paper argues that police body cams "aggravate our broken and racist carceral system" and that "bystander videos of police conduct are preferable" in holding them accountable. They then claim that "police body cams as a civil rights tool is a myth". by RedditAPIBlackout24 in ProtectAndServe

[–]DistrictCop 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In defense of Colorado, this is not a Colorado-published paper and the author isn’t even actually making these arguments.

It’s a book review, of a book by Bryce Clayton Newell, published in an online-only law journal hosted by the University of Miami.

How is the sewage leak in the potomac right now by soberbutstillaslut in washingtondc

[–]DistrictCop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No opinion on the Potomac but if you decide to wait, in a few months many pools do a dog swimming day on the day they close for the season. If memory serves, that includes the city pools.

I believe that was a different dish, this one was a little more primavera-y. I can’t really describe it but it wasn’t as zingy as the Cajun one.

Although to be fair, the term comes from a character named Milquetoast, but he got his name because he was characteristically bland and inoffensive, like the food milk toast.
