I agree with that. Also, in CSI: Miami (the only CSI I watch) they always catch the criminals. I haven't seen a ep where the bad guy got away.
One thing is also how much you have people in the area where crime is committed, how big the city is. Like here in Finland where population is only 5,2 million, murders usually get solved. Biggest city Helsinki has only 500 000-600 000 people.
well last night i watched a episode when H was under suspicion that he may have killed his girlfriend but it was his nemesis from NY where he caught him but a judge from H's past released the suspect
Well,CSI:Miami is my fav show,CSI:LV second fav lol
In the time frame sense,what you see on TV is all Bullshit,half of the Techniques they use to analyse DNA etc,can take days,weeks,or even months to get the result from...obviousley its a 45 min show,and to keep it from being boring,they have the results back in 20 seconds!!!
In the Show,they only wear like a waistcoat,with their ID etc.....bullshit....real life,they wear like a boiler suit...hairnets,shoes are covered up....otherwise,like has been said by someone else,they will contaminate the scene
As far as i know,CSI`s DONT get involved with the Policing,no interviewing suspects,arresting people,they just work the scene,and get results of DNA n shit...ive not heard of any CSI`s breaking down doors with guns pointing at people lol...but,there may have been occasions where that has happened,wouldnt imagine it though.
From what the producers,writers,directors have said,all the equipment they use in the show,is authentic,working,real stuff...nothing is made up...and the techniques they use on the show,same again,authentic.
But,the Labs on the shows,are mostly bullshit,they are no way that size,with single rooms for DNA,Ballistics etc.....real life CSI shows that have aired over here in the UK,show what real labs are like....boring looking places,that resemble sweatshops....loads of people in a room,working on different things
Just imagine,how much would the Lab from CSI:Miami cost to equip,cost to run....millions and millions...and no state in any country would do that
But,its a kick ass show...and ive watched the shows since the start,and loved em all...except CSI:NY..which is just shit!!!
