I love John Oliver's recent story on just how closely linked to the police the Law and Order franchise is. I just watched it, and it's a very good bit. And while The Wire proves that a show can portray the more realistic side of policing, that exception more goes to prove the rule. And even The Wire kind of hedged its bets, by being an indictment of the various public institutions. Effectively saying we are all guilty, all complicit to a degree. My personal favorite for many reasons is Homicide Life On The Street, which set out in the beginning to portray police far more realistically, as municipal workers just doing a job, faults and all. However the studio continued to interfere for the sake of ratings, making it more and more a traditional cop procedural show.

Is it true in the UK the cops can't lie about the evidence they have against you? Police in the UK don't have to reveal all of the information that they have during an interview with a suspect, but they can't lie about anything at all. So they can withhold what evidence they have but can't say they have something when they don't.

We are fortunate that most criminals are in fact not criminal geniuses. yeah teh genius serial killer is much more a fantasy concept than a real one. If I ever find myself in this situation, first instinct is going to be to bounce immediately if I'm not under arrest, second is going to be to ask for a lawyer and keep my mouth zipped until I get one. "am I being detained?" and "I'm not saying anything without my legal counsel present." are pretty much the bog standard free legal advice literally anyone will give out to everybody.

This reminds me of that month I spent on youtube watching Chris Hansen videos. One of those creeps bought what looked to be the greasiest but most delicious pizza ever.
Creepy Fat Undertaker really wanted you to feel bad for him too.

Creepy Fat Undertaker really wanted you to feel bad for him too. The one who wrote up a contract and insisted he didn't do anything wrong, while eating as Chris Hansen interrogated him!

Hmmm, what makes you think you would ever be in a situation like this? I dunno, that sounds like something a guilty person would say.

Years back a buddy got what appeared to a compilation of Casino security camera footage with bits of the casino security team talking to people.
For example tape starts off with security cam footage and you see this lady clearing grabbing coins out of someones bin below the slot they are playing. Cuts to same lady reaching over and grabbing coins out of a cup full the person next to them had.
Then finally we got sound when it cuts to the lady in the security office. Security guard tells her what she is accused of. She denies it. He tells her. Stay here I will be back with proof. And right after he leaves the room she reaches into her bra,pulls out a vial. Then proceeds to do 2 bumps of what I am guessing is coke or meth.
The next set of videos on the tape was a guy walking around the casino parking lot seeing which cars were not locked.
We always guessed maybe this tape was made to be shown in court. Wish I had a copy still.
