Why Sacramento though? I would have thought LA county, or Yolo county.

My first guess is that they probably Google what the capital of California is since California is "cool," and instead of Los Angeles they get Sacramento.

Yeah very weird. They mention LAPD and NYPD being popular, which makes sense, but I don't know how they got set on Sacramento. Maybe the image resources were just easy accessible online so it was easy?

Cheaper to license

[–] HessiaNerd@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't think these are licensed.
