Im asking this seriously because I may have just looked over it, but does this document name or imply Trump anywhere? I read it all but didn't see anything

This is an odd document structure to be sure.

ETA: Reading the entire PDF now, it makes sense as there are fields for the Complainant which are redacted. So this is someone filing a complaint stating Donald was a witness to what they are describing.

No argument there

It's the output from a digital form. I have all kinds of web forms on the government site I run, and the reports looks similar to this. Stripped of all the public-facing UI it makes less sense.

It's one of the more frustrating things when doing Open Records in the digital age.

Example: Let's say your neighbor files an application for a building permit application online to build a new fence. If you ask for a copy of the application, there's no real "document" to provide. Modern permitting uses interactive websites, not paper applications. Best we can do is have a reporting tool that spits out what information was provided in each field, but that's often missing context.

Meh. Probably just to export everything to printable form. And perhaps account for possibly encountering dot matrix printer, so you want to stick to simple text.
Just an idea.

Weirder is the document being raster graphics. Did they export it, print it, censor it, and then scan it?

I’m more referring to Donald being filled out as the witness. That usually only applies if Donald is the one calling the authorities.

I’m starting to feel like I can say Merry Christmas again.

Why can't it just be a flattened document?

[-] firebyte@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

More likely OCR wasn't applied when saving the document. Either they forgot or didn't apply OCR to prevent Ctrl + F searches for particular words, which is trivially easy to undo if the document doesn't have security settings applied preventing it.

Thanks, must've looked over that. Surely his supporters will turn on him now, right?... right?

Best they can do is decide child rape is acceptable now. Sorry...

[-] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I want to argue but I can't. I fucking hate this country.
