Heard a radio report the other day that criminal prosecuters are really hacked off with the tv show C.S.I.

first reason is that criminals are wising up to things like DNA evidence so they carry around a pocket full of fag butts that they find lying around and lob them into the scenes of crime like the car they've just broken into. It leaves around 50 people as suspects.

Secondly, and what I find funny, is that jurors are looking forward to a hollywood style prosecution summary at the end of the whole thing, a dramatic last minute piece of shocking evidence that puts the accused unquestionably at the scene of crime as well as guilty of various war crimes and terrorist attacks. Of course when it doesn't happen they get really pissed off and vote not guilty. Kind of like a disappointing ending to a film when you throw your popcorn.
Bunkers.....what next, ban action films that have heist scenes in them, so that people don't get the idea in their head, how to pull the perfect bank raid, or diamond heist? roll

With every city coming out with their own, I can see why

The other side effect of the shows is that people who are victims expect the real CSI to show up and test everything. They expect instant results. The reality is that most testing can take months to complete. Very few police labs have anything like the equipment seen in the shows. Some of the equipment shown in CSI Miami costs millions of dollars.

The reality if that some intern shows up with a camera and a few bags and then sends all the evidence off to a national center. 7 Months later they get the results.

The same can be said for just about any other town up norf of England. Yes Canvey island is a ground for a lot of unruly behaviour, racer boys in XR3i, lagger louts and all that
