Law And Order SVU: In What World...?


Today I was watching one of my favorite default television shows, Law and Order SVU, when I was struck by the improbable situation that was being portrayed on the show. Yes, I do know it's television and the "ripped from the headlines" story lines on L&O are fictionalized, so don't start yammering at me about that.

The situation: Detectives Tutuola and Deuthorn were at the door of a man asking some questions, the guy blew them off, slammed the door in their faces, and they went away! So my question is: in what world does this actually happen? I don't know anyone or anywhere where you can mouth off to the cops, slam the door in their faces and not spend the night in the "gray bar hotel". I'm just saying...

I think it is because they cant enter the home without probable cause or a warrant. If they really need to talk to him, they would have to compel him in court. But hey, I learned a lot of this stuff from the show... so who knows.

Hey Law and Order fan, you're probably right but still, that's pretty brave to slam the door in their faces!
