I caught a local news station using the same 'new' surveillance drone footage from 2019 twice this month
I was watching the evening report on channel 8 out of Phoenix and noticed the same grainy thermal clip of a 'gang operation' they used last week was actually from a city council hearing video I saw 4 years ago. The guy in the shot is wearing the same jacket and walking the same route, it's not even close to current. How many other stations are just recycling old scare clips to push more funding for police gear?

Channel 4 in Tucson did that last month, and I only noticed because the guy had the same pizza stain on his shirt.

That pizza stain detail really got me, @the_michael. I've been guilty of rewearing shirts I shouldn't have on camera during video calls, half hoping nobody would notice. My own Zoom shirt collection is basically three identical shirts I cycle through so nobody catches on to the same wrinkles or coffee drips. I guess we're all just one stain away from being found out.
