Stuff like a domestic assault or auto theft. Bruising can’t be seen in black and white like you can see it in color. If we brought the jump drive to City Hall and printed the pictures, the machine in here has an edit option and can be subpoenaed, meaning it can be taken to a lab to verify the photos were not altered and could be gone for a couple days to several weeks. Ald. Wilson moved to approve a new copy/printer/fax/scan machine from Sam’s Club for up to $ 300.00. Ald. Kohley seconded. Ald. Johnson, Kohley and Wilson voted aye with 0 nays.
