I get the distinct impression that you're not paying attention to what I said.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Let's review.
"I'm with Charles on this one.
I don't like seeing police work made into entertainment and I also think that if they were truly serious about reducing car theft, they'd wait until the perp got the car to wherever he was headed and bust the fence. Judging by the one time I watched an entire Bait Car show, though, I think that most of the thefts were nothing more than joy rides so, now, they're mostly making felons out of stupid kids by giving them an almost irresistible opportunity. These kids will then go on to do time in the joint where they'll be exposed to real criminals and come out much worse that they were to begin with. "
Yep, I got it.
And yet, you didn't seem to assimilate this part:
See, if they were really interested in stopping car theft, that's what they'd be looking to do. Instead, they're making a big deal out of trapping the lowest rung of the criminal ladder. It's all bullshit--they're just trying to make themselves look good and give the voyeurs a thrill. That's not real law enforcement, it's show business.I also think that if they were truly serious about reducing car theft, they'd wait until the perp got the car to wherever he was headed and bust the fence.

Thank You.That's not real law enforcement, it's show business.
What a moron.
So, the Canucks don't have the ability to shut the thing down remotely?

Either that or they were trying to see how many laws he could break.
Currently on MSNBC, there is a program called, "Taking The Bait." They are tracking a car as it goes through the thief and the various accomplices as it gets set up and goes through each stage to a chop shop. Shutting down the resources for the thieves.
This is good programming and real work.
That sounds more like it.
