Think about when you were in high school rarly did someone from my school just talk to someone from another school.. Rivalry and segragation not that this was created by the school but by the students.. there wouldnt be much talk between schools.. Also when i was in school the power of a rumor was a powerful thing and didnt take long to spread through out the school.. There are hundreds of high schools in the Metro Detroit area.. Which is made up of Wayne Washtanaw and Macomb countys.. By the time a undercover officer worked his way through them all... No one would be there from the school he would have previously been at ..   See 5 other replies

Ya, I have thought the same thing, but it doesn't bother me so much and it makes for a fun show.   See 5 other replies

Most news organizations don't show under cover police officers on television, I know where I live as well as other places I've lived in the past, it's against the law to photograph police officers. Bust a dope dealer today, and there will be another dope dealer working that same area the next day.When I was younger they did and I assume still have these programs, the officers don't get made, for one they don't make the bust, this is a television show, so some police procedures aren't actually what happen in the real world. They don't have to fly people anywhere, the last time I checked the regular police officers go undercover in the same neighborhoods all the time, students talking to each other would also have to apply to the criminals that regular undercover officer arrest as well. Most drug dealers have a territory they work, and a lot of times get their drugs from the same supplier, yet the undercover officers rarely get their covers blown. What adult criminals don't talk?, they arrest the undercover along with the suspects.The creators got the idea for this show from programs that already existed, there are enough of these cases, they also use officers to buy cigarettes and alcohol, they use police academy cadets.In certain cases they don't always release the name of a cop even if a cop gets shot by friendly fire, if they put their real name in the paper who would know, undercover cops use aliases all the time and as I said previously they never show their pictures, unless they die in the line of duty. I've never seen a televised trial where the undercover officers were shown on camera. Non-undercover detectives are seen on television or in newspapers, how many people will remember what they look like. Most people who witness a crime, can't give a good description of the criminal.   See 5 other replies

Police programs like this have existed but the officers are flown all over the nation rather than merely taking assignments in one city or state. However, I don't think any program has existed quite at the scale of the fictitious 21 Jumpstreet program. I don't think there would be enough cases to justify the amount of funding a 24/7 program would require. And my own opinion is that school officials and parents would quickly seek to demonize such a program in order to protect their own interests and/or their childrens appearances.   See 5 other replies

there's also the times where big events like the school wide hostage, and the shot police that just had to be on the news. you tellin me none of these guys got were filmed on camera??? and henson (depps character) was taken out in cuffs after he shot the cop. a news crew would have ate that up, and news paper. "cop shot by cop"   See 5 other replies
