    First 48 is a great program.

    Bruhs, individuals dealing with sick individuals is always an imperfect science. I suggest all of you who have never made an error, sign up for law enforcement so no innocent person ever goes to prison again.

    lol...
    mistakes are different from intentional misdeeds.

    Why don't people immediately ask for lawyers instead of going through long interrogations in a cold room...innocent or not.

    they're kids or they're intimidated by the situation.

    I think you are missing the point, or at least my point any way. Mistakes happen, true, but how many "more" mistakes were made, or evidence missed, or overlooked because investigation were rushed, because the investigations were made for TV?

    Now, this is only based on what I see in my own local news, but I rarely, if ever see a murder solved within the 1st 48 hours.

    That's terrible.

    As I have said though, we have humans ( fallible\evil\greedy etc) dealing with other humans ( fallible\evil\greedy etc) which will always be imperfect. Our rule of Law ( look around the world, it's pretty damn good in comparison but also written by humans ( fallible\evil\greedy etc) is the only thing we as a society can rely on until we have..

    this show ended up getting a lil girl in detroit killed

    police went in the wrong house (it was a duplex) looking for someone, and just started shooting off top, shot and killed a 7 year old

    yeah cops are always trigger happy, but they just get extra for tv

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Aiyana_Jones

    That was so sad smh

    But thats not the show's fault, thats the police's ? up.

    actually one of the producers was convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice for lying for the cop. it may not be directly their fault, but they definitely have some complicity in creating an environment that values hyping it up for tv cuz doing things by the book and procedure is just not as titillating storming in there

    Actualllyyyy he was probly just tryin to save his show from the PR hit

    I'd argue that the cameras bein their would make them tone it down, rather than turn up. I.e. u wont see them commiting police brutality on First 48, when otherwise we know it happens...

    Esoterically.

    So ? weren't being forced into confessions before first 48? The criminal justice system hasn't been totally and completely biased before shows like cops, first 48, and the like? And here you are professing about some damn common sense.

    YOU, my friend need to study the law.

    The only thing cops have to worry about is not keeping u for crazy amounts of time. They dont have to NOT ask u a million questuions.

    So how do u easily protect yourself: 1)lawyer! For tree!

    2)When the last time u seen somebody say 'am i under arrest? No. Then im not goin' They dont do that b/c they dont know better

    Ohhh, ok, yea i think u agree with me.: th3 cameras dont make them 'add on' like Kai said. Only thing i disagree with u is when the cameras are around the illegal ? (brutality, sprinklin ? , etc). But for the most part i agree that its all the same, the job itself is too fast paced and intense to look good for cameras...but they will elminate the illegal ? some of em do.

    Never heard about the show until now, but I can't imagine how a show that pressures the police to solve a case within 48 hours wouldn't lead to shoddy police work. After all, you wouldn't want your police department to look bad on national television.

    It's telling that this is the same network that carries Duck Dynasty. I never watched A&E before with any frequency, now I know to avoid that network like the plague.
