One of the parents is a cop. I’m guessing they looked for the most lenient charge that would still feel “reasonable” to those involved.

Two recommendations would be to use “overlords” instead of “landlords” I think former is a better catchall than the latter.

Second recommendation, on the “Find an App” page it should auto-scroll to the list below when you select one of the large pills. Or alternatively, do away with the big selection pills altogether. No reason to have two filtering methods that accomplish the same thing on the same page.
