criminals get a good education on how not to get caught from all those shows
Last year I had to call City of Salisbury Police to report an attempted theft of a vehicle at my office. We discovered the vehicle unlocked with the ignition laying in the floor. Someone popped the ignition out and installed another (which they had the keys to). Apparently, after installing the new ignition, they broke the key off as most of it was still in the ignition. This was only a week after someone stole a tow truck from the business in front of me. When I made the report, I asked them if they wanted me to make sure the vehicle would be available for fingerprinting, etc. I thought maybe they were still trying to solve the tow truck case, and maybe this would aid them in their investigation...thinking maybe the two cases were related because of the close proximity of the businesses. That man looked at me and said "what do we look like, CSI". I found that astounding. His opinion of the "crime/forensics shows" were that they are polluting the public's opinion of law enforcement agencies, and giving us a false sense of their standard operating procedures.
There's way too much in actuality on tv, not just csi.
A few years back, all over the news on tv was the illicit web site in ocean pines, the address of which no one would have known.
Tv news is always "telling" the how to's of everything. There are some things we need to not know. I suppose they have to fill those 24 hours a day with something. I'd rather watch a test pattern when they go "off air" than some of the stuff on air nowadays.
My home was broken in to and money was stolen. When I asked the cop if they were going to finger print they desk he told me I had been watching too much tv. When I asked why, he told me finger printing wasn't as easy as CSI made it look. Many surfaces will not hold finger prints and its hard to get a good print on the surfaces that do.
