Verbatim: What Is a Photocopier? | Op-Docs
New York Times Opinion
A New York Times Op-Docs short in which actors perform a real legal deposition transcript. A lawyer gets tangled in an absurd argument with a county employee about what counts as a photocopier, in a dispute over fees for public records.
Commenters share it as a funny, memorable example of evasive depositions and of obstruction over public records requests.
