COOPER&BURNETT Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Question - in Lend Me an Ear' date=' when the Sonny, Rico and Switek enter Dykstra's house so they can plant their new bugging devices, would that have been considered trespassing or anything? I realize it was part of their investigation, but that seemed kind of odd at the same time.[/quote']It would be if they didn't have a warrent, or court order.

Administrators Ferrariman Posted February 11, 2010 Administrators Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Well, they would most likely need a warrant. Once they got that, how else would you plant bugs without the person knowing? Break in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjcmmv Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 C&T BROKE HOW MANY LAWS?I think that by today's standards, they broke laws in almost every episode. Fun as it was to watch, Sonny's car and boat driving alone broke every law in the book and put innocent Miami residents in constant danger. 1. How about when they blew up the warehouse in NYC during the "Prodigal Son" episode? Not exactly a legal way to shut down a drug dealer!2. "Prodigal Son" again: Sonny shoots down a helicopter in Manhattan!!!!! I know he wanted to take down the bad guy, but that was pretty reckless! 3. Shooting down Barbone's plane in "Free Fall". 4. In "Borrasca", we don't actually see Castillo shoot the guy escaping on the helicopter, but from his conversation with Rico in the last scene, we know he must have.I'm sure there's plenty more....

It's fun, but they could have gotten in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 In "Forgive Us Our Debts", when Sonny takes Tom Barkley for a walk and beats the living daylights outta him. Even though he's under witness protection program Sonny almost kills him, he's so desperate to get that confession from him. Such an utter disregard of the rules... Good police work!

cheetah Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Oh yes... but in the end it turned out that he had just "dirtied his hands" for nothing, or even worse - to get a cold-blooded criminal out of jail. :cry:Well, if I'm not mistaken, of course... is it the episode where Sonny had helped the guy who later killed his wife Caitlin?

If a JUDGE orders you to do something, and you don't comply, in a way, I guess it's illegal. I'm not sure "illegal" is the correct legal term, as it's not a common law rule, but more a court ruling who has authority to take you into custody for non compliance of the order.

Kavinsky Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Didnt he break a few laws by taking the fake money out of the police storage area to frame that pipsqueak and to get him to cooperate when his cover was blown in Yankee Dollar?

Administrators timm525 Posted May 7, 2010 Administrators Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 How about "stealing" the Daytona back at the end of Whatever Works? Not exactly 100% "by the book" there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators timm525 Posted May 7, 2010 Administrators Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I'd also have to question the legality of Sonny drawing his gun down on the civilian that was driving his Jeep when Sonny stopped him and took his vehicle in Bad Timing.I know Sonny is a LEO, but drawing a weapon (AKA aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill is a third degree felony by Florida Statutes. Click ---> here) on a civilian that has not broken any laws that are considered "life threatening" to warrant the use of deadly force is way out of line in my opinion.I think he'd have to answer to a review board for his actions on this in today's "real" world.

LNGLK Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 What do you think, what was meant by a "stolen car" in FREEFALL?Was Sonny going to steal it? Or just to give Rico a lift? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavinsky Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 After 5 years of driving a technically already stolen ferrari by the goverment via the rico statute wouldnt you be inclinded to keep it if no one asked about it if you were crockett? but in all seriousness it was probably a half joke, maybe he was supposed to turn in and was doing it a day late.

COOPER&BURNETT Posted September 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Knowing how little money the vice squad had to work with due to cutbacks, and knowing he doesn't steal things, he most likely just hadn't finalized bring it back yet. Castillo knew he was using it because he didn't have any other transport at the time, and figured he'd let him use it for a few days.Crockett was just making light of the situation that he no longer is a cop, but still had the car in his possesion.
