Image: A man is standing on a metal ladder that is leaned up against the side of a white van. He is facing to the right, leaning over, holding on to the metal roof armature on the van with his left hand, speaking into a large microphone. Two policemen wearing white helmets stand on the ground, one holding the ladder, the other to the right holding the coiled length of electrical cord attached to the microphone. The van has "CD service" written on the side. There are 2 loudspeakers attached to the metal armature on top of the van that are also supported on metal poles; one speaker behind the man to the left and one to the right. The front door of the van is slightly ajar. It is night. In the background there is a building with lighted windows.
