Social media posts spreading the false claim that the New York Police Department (NYPD) caught “a group of pigeons with backpacks carrying illicit substances” in January 2023 feature years-old photos of drug busts in other countries. In fact, reverse image searches show the photographs in the social media posts are years old and appear in reports about police drug busts outside of the United States.
