I was told the other day that the show won't be in Calvert for the upcoming season. Official reason, "too distracting and too much work". Unofficial reason, it's an election year.

I always wondered why these police shows never end up in the slums of Gary,IN. The ghettos of Detroit and 8 mile, The east side of Indy, West Baltimore, Flatbush and Brooklyn NYC.
I would guess they really don't want to cover real crime areas, Along with the producer and the camera men would be scared sh!tless.
Because the politicians don't want it. 'The first 48' used to be in Memphis for many years. That was until the local politicians decided that showing the folks in their city killing each other over dope was racist and harmed their tourism. Same thing happened in Miami and New Orleans.
I believe that and the city's get no money from the shows, no residuals no nothing. I've never understood why any city would put themselves on national tv in a bad light.
They did a segment with Bridgeport CT - not a big city, but a pretty ####ing distressed one.I always wondered why these police shows never end up in the slums of Gary,IN. The ghettos of Detroit and 8 mile, The east side of Indy, West Baltimore, Flatbush and Brooklyn NYC.

If you watch the show it's good PR for LE. For the most part the officers come out looking good.I believe that and the city's get no money from the shows, no residuals no nothing. I've never understood why any city would put themselves on national tv in a bad light.

Let's be honest, we all know there are crimes out there, we know what goes on in our community and so do the people in NY, Boston, Baltimore, Houston, Miami.....
You can honestly watch live PD and cops and tell me it shows me LEO's in good light?
.That's not what I see, I see profiling, pulling folks over for at best dubious reasons and then fish and lie to citizens to get consent for a search that never should have happened when they were pulled over for a tag light not working..
Folks arrested after illegal search done.. I see folks get bully copped everytime I watch a cop show on TV.
