The worker/boss says “hey Julio, these guys are here to see you!” and/or points in suspect’s general direction; suspect immediately drops whatever he’s doing and takes off like a bat outta hell. He is caught in short order, usually during or after jumping a fence. One detective then mutters “I love it when they’re stupid” or some such comment.

100. Rookie cop throws up on seeing grizzly corpse.

Onimo (GerryNemo), Friday, 6 October 2006 14:08 (nineteen years ago)

i swear after all these years my one main pleasure in watching law & order now is the initial finding of the body by random people. the conversations that people are having before they stumble upon the corpse is always so lame.

scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 6 October 2006 14:09 (nineteen years ago)

101. Every single piece of evidence worth camera time formds a crucial part of the forensic jigsaw.

104. A poor but noble person who makes a confession will always be covering up for a child/parent who inevitably finds out about it and then confesses themselves to save original confessor.

105. All perps are in fantastic shape and excell at evading-arrest sidewalk olympics. Only some of the cops are competetive in these events, however. The decisive event is the back-alley chain-link fence scramble.

111. A Fed/G-Man in a spotless three-piece suit and dress shoes is able to catchup to a perp who's dressed in something more appropriate for a foot chase. Doesn't matter if the perp is hopped up on meth/PCP.

A recent episode of Numb3rs actually addressed this: one Fed says to the other "Why do they always run?" and the other replies "It's the suit. They always think they can outrun a guy in a suit."

Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Friday, 6 October 2006 18:08 (nineteen years ago)

110a. Oftentimes the cop will also have a sweet boat, for the ladies.

slugbuggy (slugbuggy), Friday, 6 October 2006 18:12 (nineteen years ago)

115. Cop is left alone in interrogation room with creepy suspect who has a penchant for mind games. Cop knows suspect is guilty but has zero evidence. Cop looses cool and starts yelling at the suspect to confess. Suspect gives an evil grin and the starts head butting the wall until face is bloodied, making it look like that cop lost his cool and beat him up. Suspect has evil laugh & grin on bloody face prior to other cops entering the room.

what if they used a never-seen-otherwise switchblade(that the cop carries around to show that he's "street" n' shit) to cut the baggie and test the stuff?
