What's the police code and procedure for my screenplay?

I see your screenplay going straight to Beta.

You know, I bet there are people here too young to know what beta is! Good one though!

Citi,

You need to speak louder, having a tin foil hat covering one's ears makes one hard of hearing.

Same with ours.

I also wondered who would detain all the cops...

Why . . . the fire department of course!

[Creeker]

Reminds me of the argument for gun control...

... and stop entertaining the monkeys...

Wow. I really am not even sure where to start here...

How does an officer from another jurisdiction become an "officer in charge" of guys that don't have to listen to him?

If a lot of officers are involved in a pursuit from several jurisdictions, then they aren't all just going to stop because a cop says he thinks two of the officers are dirty. They may alert all the officers, they may order the two dirty cops to come back to the station, but two cops being dirty does not override whatever the suspects are wanted for in the first place. There's a reason they are chasing the suspects in the first place, after all.

Don't take this personally, Harmonica, but with as far behind the curve as you seem to be on the most basic of police procedures, I have to wonder if you would be better served with a screenplay about topics with which you are more familiar...

No, I thought this is the way it would be, that the cops don't have to listen. However, not listening to someone with no authority could still be fatal and I was wondering if there is still some emergency procedure. But no there isn't I guess.

My point, Harmonica, is that if someone is talking and I don't have to listen to him or obey what he says, then he really isn't "in charge" of me. If there is an "officer in charge" of something, then it only stands to reason that the other police officers involved in that thing would have to listen to him, right?

What's the police code and procedure for my screenplay?

OK, I'll give it up.


The Code is :









"Bovine Scatology Alert" screamed as loudly as possible, preferably through a Patrol Cars PA system.



The Procedure is a two step process:



#1 Everyone is required to roll their eyes, then ...





#2 They proceed to run in circles, flailing their arms around the individual with the highest rank present.

Since there is no code or procedure aren't the police ever worried about cops being bad and they can't do anything about it during a police chase or police sting since they have no emergency procedure for it? Well I guess if you don't, then you don't...

Are you kidding me?

It's not true that we "aren't worried about bad cops." But to think that there's a procedure in place for a scenario that specific that would only occur in a bad action movie script is a symptom of the overall problem of how cops wind up getting depicted in movies and tv shows.

I have really tried, Harmonica, to answer your questions as best I could in a respectful and complete manner.

But your above reply tells me that you really aren't interested in the true realities of law enforcement. If you want the real answers to how it would go in real life, please stick around.

But if you want to know what the police procedure is for when a dirty lieutenant at work orders an officer to kill a fellow officer during a pursuit because he has framed that other officer as a fake dirty cop and you want to know what the "secret code" that the actually innocent officer can use on the radio to let the other cops know it's the Lieutenant that's dirty and not him so that they won't kill him during the pursuit...

Then you don't want "realpolice;" you want "realstevensegalplots"
