Inherent Vice Review, Newsweek

[Joe Allonby]

Good article. Like the Steve McGarret reference. I read an artilce a
long time ago on cop shows and constitutional law. Hawaii 5-0 held
some kind of record for rights violations and police brutality
depicted as normal. Most of the time when McGarret said "Book 'em,
Danno.", if it had really happened the case would have been thrown out
due to lack of evidence or the evidence could have been tossed out
since it was acquired during a beat down.
