The other day, while editing I need to know an esoteric detail – Do campus police in Indiana wear plain clothes or a uniform. I looked on a couple of website where I found several pictures of campus police detectives in uniforms and plain clothes. I could also call up the police force of the University I am at and ask them but those folks have busy lives doing important things. So I asked on twitter and what do you know, one of my local friends said she had worked with local campus police detectives and told me all about what they wore and when.

So if you have a detail or question you can't find an answer for try asking on twitter. One of your followers might know the answer or even be an expert in that area.
