I feel privileged that I get to read @blues stories. My favorite cop book was written by a Customs guy from the same era. Truly good stuff.
Thank you!

Over the years after my primary UC for 9 months, we had other stuff like baseball caps with transmitters, envelope transmitters, (that I once had a perp throw off the balcony of an Embassy Suites in Miami down into the Lobby / Atrium below...which taught us never to have a room that high up when we had to fight, since it was close to someone dropping quite a few floors), clock radio installations, pinhole lenses in walls and the best was our undercover warehouse which was setup for audio / video and had a separate monitoring room and a staging area for the bust team.
Nothing compared to today's technology.
I don't even know what those things are that BBI posted above.

In this movie I saw…. There may or may not be an entire large shopping center parking lot wired up with about 20 cameras on the parking lot. And in said movie, the cops may have always wanted to do their crook meets in that specific parking lot since they already had it hard wired for video and possibly audio, from 20 different angles, and night vision and thermal. Possibly. But it’s only a movie. It never happens in real life. Nope…. Never. Only in the movies.
And of course these days you can pack a transmitter in just about anything.

no one sees what's written on the spine of his own autobiography.
The sheriffs dept. had an unmarked pickup with a solid canopy on it. I was told it was chock full of electronic surveillance gear. Not sure how that was used but I'm guessing some type of cell signal intercept or maybe wifi monitoring equipment.

I thought it was MAC 10's or 11's. Rivi loved his MAC11.

Thanks, Newb. It's fun to share them with you.
There's nothing civil about this war.
Which book, if I may ask?

The worst thing about it is that it makes me jealous of things I never got to do in a time that was probably pretty awesome to work in.
The good is it’s interesting and actually pretty funny.
