FTA: "The underreporting began in 2013, after the department switched to its current incident-based reporting system, which allows law enforcement to better classify multiple crimes that occur within a single incident."

"This resulted in 165,000 cases out of 1.9 million, or 8.4%, not being reported [to the FBI] over the past decade. The department discovered the issue during a recent internal review..."

Now I'm wondering if Columbus' population growth and attracting new employers wasn't partly based on this illusion that it was the lowest-crime big city in Ohio, when in fact it wasn't. A lot of "best city" rankings use FBI crime stats as a major factor. The municipality most likely benefited greatly from this underreporting over the past 10 years.

Hi, I know it’s a pretty specific/niche question, any recommendations would be appreciated.

For some background: My boyfriend got a DUI back in March and got his license suspended for a year with driving privileges to and from work. Tonight, he ended up getting pulled over for expired tags. The police obviously found out he was driving on a suspended license when he wasnt supposed to, gave him a ticket, had his car towed and license plate suspended, and has court in two weeks. Does anyone know what is probably going to happen to him on his court date? I'm basically asking for myself because I know I'm going to be a mess until I know what's going to happen and I just want to prepare the best I can. :/

This is a long shot. I lost a bracelet my grandmother gave me. It’s just costume jewelry but she’s not doing well and it must of fell off chasing my kiddos around. The ring posted the bracelet looks the same.

Hi all! Trying to visit some states and thinking of Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana. I’ll be going during Christmas/Hanukkah time and know that I want to do horseback riding somewhere. Anyone have any ideas or thoughts on specific things to do? If it’s worth visiting?

Im 15 and have been skating for a few months, but i cant find anyone that can skatboard often that i can stand for longer than an hour. I live in south lebanon and this post is for trying to create a freind group to skate with.

I’m a college student with an ambition to find some really old jeans so I made a very loose plan to go to Ohio and see what I find. I’ve gone in rural NY searching for vintage but I’ve never tried somewhere like Ohio. I’d appreciate any heads up or advice from what to expect when knocking on peoples doors. Thank you!

Edit: What I want cannot be found in a thrift

HMP added Mike Turner to its reach list. Is Montgomery, Greene, Clark gonna finally send Mike Turner packing in November 2026!?

I know there are cameras in this area and plenty of people I’ve talked to said you can ignore these. I was not pulled over. However, it says there was an “operating officer”. I’ve always thought there were just automated cameras set up, in which case I would just ignore this. But if it says there’s an operating officer does that mean it’s better off just to pay it?

I live outside of Ohio (ny) and purchased a vehicle from Ohio outright, no financing. It was purchased from a local dealer who told us he had to put in the request for a new title for us. But that was that. He didn’t give us the Ohio title. Now we’re two weeks after and trying to register it in ny and the DMV here says dude should’ve given us the title…? Is it normal for this to happen to out-of-state purchases or did dude screw us? I feel like because he is a legitimate dealership that he’d be hard pressed to screw us over…butttttt people suck so here I am. My family and I made this trip during a snow storm and so it got CHAOTIC to say the least and didn’t take the time needed to understand about the title. The way he was talking it was like id be receiving a NY title in the mail.. Any advice on if he did something normal, or fucked me over by withholding the title from me would be appreciated. Thanks!

It’s give police un tamed authority to conduct road side saliva tests for THC.

Like that’s not gonna be abused within the first 24 hours. Jesus
