It sometimes takes me 4 days to write and get together a search warrant. And that’s just the paperwork. Real life is boring.
You think it might have been possible to frame your reply without being an asshole?
Did you explore that link at all? All of the pictures are behind a paywall.
I like Criminal Minds, but I’ll be the first to admit that the only way to enjoy it is to accept that Garcia is only able to do the things she can do is because she has a degree from Hogwarts.
It seems like a perfectly polite and reasonable point to me.
No. It requires registration, but it’s free, and takes mere seconds.
It actually just requires a free registration.
But there are ways to get around a paywall, most obviously by paying the subscription. Criminal Minds would certainly have the budget to do it.
Garcia has a positronic thumb drive in her thumb.
Pay attention to the show! Jeez…
The procedural thing every cop show since '68 does that bugs me is the Miranda thing. The cop is still fighting to get the cuffs on a guy and he’s huffing and puffing “you…have…[gasp]…the right…to…[huff-puff]…remain silent!”
This is complete nonsense.
Whatever. My point is, they wouldn’t be available in Garcia’s Magic Database of Mystery. According to the show, all of the information related to a person’s high school life is meticulously cataloged in her database with separate fields for name, activities, grades, former addresses, current address, disciplinary problems, girlfriends, boyfriends, weight, and whether or not they cheated on a test in 8th grade but old Mr. Cherry let it slide so it was never reported.
There’s also an individual school age picture, which the Classmates link does not provide.
CSI always cracks me up. If I lived in Miami and visited that police station, or even saw one of those Humvees, I’d probably want to have a discussion with my local commissioner about what I’m paying for.
And I love that they’re doing detective work. I imagine if they showed up at my door it would go something like this:
“CSI. We’d like to ask you some questions.”
“I’m sorry…who are you?”
“CSI. Where were you on–”
“Sorry, still not getting it. Are you the Police?”
“Crime Scene Investigators. Where were you–”
“So, like, the medical examiners? Lab techs? Not the Police?”
“Crime Scene Investigators. Where were you–”
“Yeah, I’m not talking to you.” ::shuts door::
“Hey! CSI!”
If you want to call someone an asshole, do it in the Pit, not Cafe Society.

This is why I like Castle. They use a white board not those magic screens where the star swipes their hand to zoom in.
I can probably find a white board at my local police station, but I’d bet big $ I can’t find a magic screen there.
That’s funny right there, I don’t care who you are.
What I like about NCIS is the amount of time they apparently spend on fancy PowerPoint presentations for when Gibbs walks in and says “update.”
I’m old, so I prefer it when Rockford and Dee Dee shake down a snitch, slip Huggy Bear a $20 to look the other way, and get the evidence to Quincy just in time for Hunter to one-up the D.A. in the courtroom at the last minute.
Cannon and Barnaby Jones had one up on all of them. And if we could just Get Christie Love, well, that’s all she wrote, Jessica.
.
Meh. That’s two key strokes for Tim.
Hey, Huggy always new what the word on the street was!
The CSI guys questioning witnesses kills me. Would this not taint them as witnesses at trial?
I prefer my detectives to be prepared for rain and want to know what you paid for those shoes.
Someone should do an updated version of Police Squad! to parody modern police shows. There’s so much material to work with.
Check out Charlie Brooker’s A Touch of Cloth.
