Homicide/ heavy crimes task force.

 

"In the criminal justice system, crimes perpetrated by fat lards are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Heavy Crimes Task Force. These are their stories."

 

Well, we're not quite like NYC, but the bodies are just as dead. And trust me, the job is nothing like what hollywood thinks it is.

 

Do you get the same frustration watching those shows as I do when I see some show on TV where someone does something with a computer that's just over-the-top ridiculous? It reminds me of a quote from Garth in Wayne's World, when he's trying to send a video feed to a TV in a limousine...

"OK... First I'll access the secret military spy satelite that is in geosynchronous orbit over the midwest. Then I'll ID the limo by the vanity plate "MR. BIGGG" and get his approximate position. Then I'll reposition the transmission dish on the remote truck to 17.32 degrees east, hit WESTAR 4 over the Atlantic, bounce the signal back into the aerosphere up to COMSAT 6, beam it back to SATCOM 2 transmitter number 137 and down on the dish on the back of Mr. Big's limo... It's almost too easy. "

Or like in swordfish when he's supposedly hacking or programming a worm and it shows up on his screen as scrolling text and spinning 3D objects flying all over?

CSI is the one that makes me mental. "Enter a partial fingerprint into AFIS and up pops a driver's license picture". BS... Most of our BCI guys couldnt pull a print from a clean water glass.... and I love it when people try and tell you how it's done "because they saw it on CSI Miami..."

 

Lol me and a guy here at work were just ripping on CSI the other day. You mean to tell me normal investigators can walk a mile into the desert and say "Wait! Stop! Here's a hair on the ground in all this sand!" And I don't know much about how a forensics operation works, but I'm pretty sure that when you have a laboratory that specializes in dealing with tiny tiny pieces of evidence and microscopic samples, it normally is not lit by a single 30W light bulb.

 

They are stretching the limits of reality on those shows for sure.
Like the burgular who wore mask, head cover, gloves, left not even a single shread of evidence.

Then the script had him fart as he was climbing out the window, and investigators got wind of it, trapped it in a baggy,
fed it into their computer and his driver's license photo popped up on the screen.

 

Ahahahaha!

 

I am a 5th grade teacher.

 

I don't believe it.
A real 5th grade teacher would know where Pasadena is.

 

And somebody that passed 5th would know that there are more than 1 Pasadena.

 

You know more about me than you should. I suspect a leak.

 

Well ... I put together GM cars on the ole line.....yes and I own a ford truck!

I always wanted to put a "bought and paid for by GM" bumper sticker on it.

But..I do have a GM car too...one of the old icons that Gm decided to drop ..
