Note To Self....
Do not wear your CSI shirt when meeting local Sheriff's Deputies.
"TV kicks our asses." << Direct quote from the deputy who is helping us with our local block watch.
But I did get a quick look at how real forensic specialists work and how to dust for fingerprints.
Now I might be a big fan of the show and watch pretty regularly. Although that might change depending on what season 11 looks like.
I know enough to know TV is not like CSI.
On the other hand, my sister in law works for the Department of Juvenile Corrections in the State of Washington. I do know a thing or two about the rights of minors and how minors that commit crimes, especially felonies, are treated in this state.
Our neighborhood has had a string of burglaries since the fall. There is a suspect, etc... so a guy who was robbed asked if he could buy a kit and dust for fingerprints. The deputy told him that it wouldn't do any good since it's very hard to get a latent finger print off of most types of surfaces. And that it was a property crime, the forensic specialist wasn't always going to come out.
"Life if not like it is on TV." << another quote from the highly rattled Sheriff's Deputy.
I wonder if I hadn't worn that shirt, would he have said that???
Well we did get through the meeting successfully. I did mention to anyone who was interested that CSI was on that night at 9 if they were interested in watching.
Note to self... next meeting, don't wear your CSI shirt.
I found last night, my mom fell down, hit her head and was bleeding through her nose. I'm here waiting to hear a status report from my sister.
This weekend is our 17th anniversary. My sister was supposed to watch our kids while hubby and I went out. Somehow I don't think that's gonna be the case....
Unfortunately, as tired as I am at the moment, you know there is a fanfic rattling in my head.
"I wished I'd stayed in bed."
"Oh, me too."
