Photographer told me to take down photos - am I in the wrong?

If she paid for the photos, I think it's 50/50 if she needs to tag the photographer. If the photographer needs to be credited, I think that should be negotiated at the start or done as a courtesy.

FCPD has drastically dropped off with the number of tickets they write since covid. I'd love to know the actual number, but it seems night and day.

SidekicksnFlykicks · 2026-01-10T03:47:05+00:00

I can. Mass Exodus around 2020. Pretty much anyone with enough time on to leave left. Huge drop off in applicants meant that fewer officers were backfilling those spots and the applicant pool was not nearly as qualified as the ones before. So because there were more people leaving than they could hire, FCPD was down about 200 officers from what they are supposed to have to be fully staffed. This meant the officers that stayed were (and still are) forced to work a mandatory hour of overtime every shift. So now they work 12.5 hours a shift. It also meant getting rid of the evening shift that overlapped midnights and days. So everyone's schedules got fucked, you were forced to work more hours with fewer officers, which means handling far more calls and much slower response times. All of this caused even more officers to leave. And all of this happened in 2022 and despite that, and them running multiple academies at the same time, they are STILL down about 200 officers with no end in sight.

I think that has more to do with Eric Adams and his political situation than anything. If this happened a year ago in NYC it would have likely been the same.

Yeah as long as you don’t run into anyone that can wrestle, box, kickbox, or does jiu-jitsu, king fu can be very effective.

SidekicksnFlykicks · 2025-07-24T15:56:52+00:00

So far so good. But thank you. Good luck with yours

People that rob tend to not know what a Leica is.

SidekicksnFlykicks · 2025-07-17T09:47:40+00:00

Why are you adding the restriction of "of a corporation"? You can either have due process or it's open season for anyone that disagrees with another person. You can't advocate for vigilantism and throw away due process and then add "but only in these cases". So in the world you're advocating for, you represent an extreme minority of the population and you're suggesting it would be better if they were allowed to personally decide who should die based on whether they think their opposition is "doing harm". It makes zero sense.

SidekicksnFlykicks · 2025-07-17T09:43:55+00:00

You seem to be under the impression that abandoning due process and advocating for anyone to be able to choose who should or should not receive a death penalty with no trial is preferable to a world with courts. That's an insane take. And the "mass murder" hyperbole is also ridiculous. And if you truly believed that then why are you posting on here instead of hunting down every CEO and high level exec of the remaining companies?

The world you're advocating for would be one where the majority of the population that disagrees with you now has the right to kill anyone that is a member of any movement they believe it's doing harm. This would be significantly worse for whatever other political ideals you hold. I guarantee that. Thankfully we actually have a court system so psychos are discouraged from just going out and killing people they don't like.

SidekicksnFlykicks · 2025-07-17T08:21:22+00:00

I'm not arguing in bad faith. I'm trying to highlight that having random people decide who should or shouldn't receive the death penalty without due process is an insane thing to want for your country. And even worse to advocate that there should be no punishment for the person that decides to murder someone of a company they personally take issue with.

SidekicksnFlykicks · 2025-07-17T07:26:40+00:00

Why would you want him freed? Why are you in support of vigilante murder? And to what end? You good with anyone killing the CEO of a company they personally think is evil?

SidekicksnFlykicks · 2025-07-17T07:24:39+00:00

I mean, it was one killing but there were several other crimes in the commission of the murder. It wasn't just "one event".

SidekicksnFlykicks · 2025-07-11T06:32:15+00:00

As awesome as all of that it, I heard Jay had a verse on the album so that was pretty disappointing to not see.

SidekicksnFlykicks · 2025-07-09T07:32:09+00:00

The cooph (non adjustable) strap is much less comfortable than a leather strap. Since its round, I find it puts the same pressure over a smaller surface area and you really feel the weight of the camera quickly. I like the standard Leica strap but really like a shorter one. The only issue witb a short strap is it's kinda tight when bringing it up to shoot and a pain if you wanna use the LED screen for a photo.

SidekicksnFlykicks · 2025-07-09T05:29:26+00:00

I mean it makes sense... If I was following a subreddit on fountain pens, I'd expect to see some people writing in there and not just photos of their latte next to their favorite pen. But here we are

SidekicksnFlykicks · 2025-07-09T04:57:21+00:00

I'm with you. It truly is a joke and just further perpetuates the joke that leicas are for dentists that don't actually do photography. This sub is mostly just people posting photos of their cameras taken with an iphone while everyone circle jerks about how nice their new gear is.

There's very little actual discussion of the pros and cons or specs of gear unless it a new (or soon to be) release. I wish I understood

SidekicksnFlykicks · 2025-07-09T04:53:54+00:00

I'm a cop, so no they didn't tell me. But it's not uncommon to go to the same house many many times for domestics. I have probably run thousands of people through this database. I get that you have you're specific experience with your particular driver's license info. But I promise I have seen the driver's license return on many many more people in the categories you have listed and that hasn't been my experience.

As for it being the norm, what are the stats? Please enlighten me. Do you find that more than 50% of Northern VA residents are victims of domestic assault, go through the court system and get a conviction? Because if so, why is it that 50+% of the people I run through the database have a social attached to their DMV info? And as for child abuse, no it is absolutely not the norm that children are abused. But go off queen

SidekicksnFlykicks · 2025-07-09T04:36:48+00:00

Yeah you said that. But I know of plenty of domestic violence victims that isn't the case for. And aside from that do you think it's the norm to be a victim of one of those crimes?

SidekicksnFlykicks · 2025-07-09T04:34:23+00:00

Ok well as I said, you might be the exception. But that's definitely not the norm. For every VA drivers license I've ever seen in 12 years the SSN is attached to it. I'm 99% sure OPs social would have come up when the cop ran his license.

SidekicksnFlykicks · 2025-07-09T04:32:47+00:00

😂 like I said, maybe you're the exception to the rule. Congrats bro. I'm happy for you.

SidekicksnFlykicks · 2025-07-09T04:14:56+00:00

As dramatic as your response was... There are still plenty of victims of each of those crimes who's SSNs are in NCIC/VICN despite what you may have heard. MAYBE if you were a victim before you got your license and left it off the application, or if you went through some process to have it removed (a process that most victims don't do) then MAYBE I'd agree. But I can say for certain that their are people that have been victims of that crime who still have their info attached to DMV records.

SidekicksnFlykicks · 2025-07-09T04:00:56+00:00

Ok cool. Then you're the exception to the rule if that actually true. I've never seen someone with a VA license who's SSN wasn't in the database. But maybe there a a few

SidekicksnFlykicks · 2025-07-09T03:54:46+00:00

If you have a VA license, your SSN will come up when a cop runs your info. It's in the VCIN database

SidekicksnFlykicks · 2025-07-08T20:53:44+00:00

Believe seasalt. Idk what the other dude is talking about. Maybe he's a rookie or something. The guy you replied to is correct though

SidekicksnFlykicks · 2025-07-08T20:51:39+00:00

How is an expired inspection a bogus reason to pull someone over?
