@pearl, those are still shots from surveillance cameras, which are generally horrible.
But on TV, they usually can tell what the perp had for dinner based on those pics. My reality is crushed.

We have three young guys on our squad now, all with less than two years of experience. One of them, Officer Z, stopped a car and called me over for assistance. He's usually pretty self sufficient, so if he calls, he's got something. He also trusts me a little too much. I arrive and he's sitting in his patrol car. I walk up to his window.
Me: What you got?
Z: I think this guy is drunk.
Me: Did you get him out and do balance tests?
Z: Well that's the thing. He's a paraplegic and uses a wheelchair. The vehicle has hand controls.
Me: Is it a motorized wheelchair or a manual one?
Z: What's the difference?
Me: You asked for my help. I'm trying to help.
Z: It's manual. It's folded up in the back seat.
Me: Well you need to have him get out and roll in a straight line for you.
Z: Are you fucking serious?
Me: If it was motorized, they always roll straight because of the motor and gearing. With a manual chair, he controls it, so we can test him.
Z: No way, I'm not doing that.
Me: So you'll let him drive away and kill a family of four?
Z: No but having him roll in a straight line doesn't prove anything.
Me: Have a better idea?
Z: No, I guess not. Alright. (exits the patrol car and starts walking towards the vehicle he stopped)
Me: Jesus Christ I'm kidding!!! Get back here!!!
I don't get it. So you put him in a boat to test him?
Only if his name is bobI don't get it. So you put him in a boat to test him?
Only if his name is bob
So did you arrest a paraplegic man?
If you start linking these stories to real life people, I can only imagine this thread will have to die.
