At the tire store. Waiting room TV is on World’s Wildest Police Chases or something. Kind of loud shit you can’t not watch. It’s so annoying, but the major thing I’m learning is that cops in real life apparently speak solely in clichés. An irate policeman just demanded of a man who assaulted him, then led him on a 130-mph chase, “What is your major malfunction?” in apparent total seriousness.
Also I’ve learned that if I ever concoct an elaborate plan that involves a stolen getaway car, I should also make sure it has gas in it.
I wonder if the overreliance on clichés are because they’d get in trouble for saying “what’s your motherfucking deal?” and the like on camera?
The footage is all from dashcams, though– they’re not being filmed like a reality TV show, it’s even lower-budget than that. These are just the recordings that were already in-progress as part of their jobs. No, these are really the way these people talk. There are plenty of swears, but I gotta say I’m a little shocked actually by how often people *don’t* swear. There was another good late-90s cliche that I forgot before I could write it down.
I just watched one where a fugitive on foot got apprehended by a pizza delivery car. That was really something. I don’t know what to make of that. The delivery driver just zipped up and cut off the runner so the cop could catch him, then reversed and drove on his merry way like nothing had happened. WTF man.
