I've never seen warrants issued so fast. I've been in law enforcement for 14 years and sometimes it takes 2 hours to get a warrant. And that's just for something simple. TV is and has been so fake ever since these so called reality shows showed up..

There are also a lot of errors in the science of the shows. I also think that firearms are used way too much, almost every show ends in a firefight of some sort.b that is no where close to being real. You would know this better than me, you being in law enforcement, but wouldn't CSIs come in after the scene has been secured by detectives? I am a retired soldier so Ive noticed a lot of problems with weapons. I remember one show specifically stating a 5.56mm round must have been fired within 100 yards when they actually have a max effective range of 480m which is about 525 yards, could be even greater using a scope. So I can basically challenge the facts of every show or just enjoy them for what they are, a fictional story of a CSI unit in Miami.
shareI concur with the firearm gripes. Who in the hell is their armorer/firearms tech advisor?
At least one of the team pull their gun in every episode; most cops go their entire career without having to pull their duty gun!
When they pull their gun, their index fingers go straight to the trigger - no one ever properly indexes their trigger finger when they draw their gun. Hell, their fingers are even on the trigger as they walk/run towards wherever they're walking/running to.
Caruso is the worst; when he approaches a suspect his gun is drawn, finger on trigger in that compact leaning carry with his elbows flexed and he stays aimed on the suspect's head and always walks up to within 10-12 inches from the suspect's head. Then as a team member approaches the suspect to arrest/handcuff them CARUSO STILL HAS HIS FINGER ON THE TRIGGER - still aimed at the suspect's head during the handcuffing. That is completely irresponsible firearm etiquette - his team members are showing outright stupidity walking into the line of fire while Caruso still has his finger on the trigger.
Oh well, glad I never wasting time watching the series in its original run. Ran into a CSI: Miami marathon a couple weeks ago and watched a few episodes until I couldn't stand the clichés and poor firearm handling.
Navy? And what cracks me up also I've noticed in Military movies/shows is the racking the round. Its in every piece of the movies and TV shows. All the cop shows show the cop, mostly detectives pull their gun out, and chamber a round. Since I graduated from the academy we were told always to be Locked and Loaded! He'll then have people pulling the hammer back to F
shareFor the gun to shoot semi- auto to full. I carry a Block and I always here them pulling their Glicks out and pulling the hammer back to shoot...only thing is Glicks do not have hammers. And don't get me started on how much noise the guns make. Jesus Christ the producers make it so all the cops/soldiers/bad and good guys guns make a lot of noise. My gun is quiet-- you'll never here me unholster...And by the way Sir I Want to Thank You for service and to help keep my family safe.
shareBeing half asleep is not helping me in spelling some words the right way--- obviously.
shareNo worries, I understood what you meant. And, you were dead on - GLOCKS do not have hammers or even safety levers to account for the clicks and flicks noises as you prepare to shoot. Another gun gripe I have is all the cops shown doing press checks - not in this show, per se - as we pretty much agree that over use of guns in inappropriate manners is the weakness in this show.
After a lifetime of carry of just about every brand under the sun (Taurus, Ruger, GLOCK, S&W, Sig Sauers, etc) in my twilight years (I'm pushing 60) I've settled on a nice lightweight open carried (I live in Georgia) 1911with lasergrips.
