Friday is the traditional Islamic holy day, and Muslims break their fast at sunset during Ramadan. The police department's community affairs bureau will work with mosques to communicate the new guidelines and ensure that devices used to broadcast the adhan are set to appropriate decibel levels, Adams said. «For too long, there has been a feeling that our communities were not allowed to amplify their calls to prayer,» Adams said.

U.S. District Judge Roy Altman in Miami said Burger King must defend against a claim that its depiction of Whoppers on in-store menu boards mislead reasonable customers, amounting to a breach of contract. Customers in the proposed class action accused Burger King of portraying burgers with ingredients that «overflow over the bun,» making it appear that the burgers are 35% larger and contain more than double the meat as the chain serves. Burger King, a unit of Restaurant Brands International, countered that it wasn't required to deliver burgers that look «exactly like the picture,» but the judge said it was up to jurors to «tell us what reasonable people think.» In his decision made public on Friday, Altman also let the customers pursue negligence-based and unjust enrichment claims. He dismissed claims based on TV and online ads, finding none in which Burger King promised a burger «size,» or patty weight, and failed to deliver it. Burger King and its lawyers did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Tuesday.
