Award of Excellence
James Nachtwey VII / TIME Magazine
"Los Angeles Police"


2 of 10

Questioning a man who was on parole from prison and hanging around in a known drug sale area. The man spoke rudely to the police, was handcuffed while his name was run on the computer, and found to be on parole. A parolee is not permitted to be in the presence of people using drugs. He was a logical suspect because the alley he was in is known to be a point of sale for illegal drugs. The man was eventually released after receiving a warning.
