Have these people ever heard of The Constitution?
I've watched a couple of shows, and I'm amazed that it apparently condones highly illegal police tactics. Sort of doing the wrong thing for the right reason mentality.
For example, in last night's show (9/18/05) a suspect asked for an attorney, and they continued to "question" him. He eventually told them things that led to the bad guy's arrest. Or later, they’re searching a residence (presumably with a warrant), and one cop asks the other what he's looking for. The reply was "I'll know it when I see it". I didn't know that judges signed off on "I'll know it when I see it" warrants.
I hope they realize that even the dumbest, laziest lawyer could get the whole case thrown out because of that. Of course, their self-righteous group think would blame liberal judges for being soft on crime, when in fact there is no leeway that even the harshest judge could take.
I may watch an occasional episode, just to irritate my liberal sensibilities, but I won't make any effort to follow this show. I hope the dropping ratings indicates that the cop show watching sector of the American public does not agree with the "ends justifies the means" approach that Wanted seems to subscribe to.
