US Police

[Tyranus]

I remember an older episode of COPS where the 2 detectives were after a criminal that had been on the run for a long time.

He was notorious for giving false information and his appearance had changed a fair bit since the last time they had seen him.

When they caught him they used a simple pager and pretended it was a "finger-print scanner". They pushed the screen against his finger and then pretended to upload the finger-print into the police database.

When they got the "results back from dispatch", he then admitted he was the suspect they were after.

LOL, credit where credit is due, that's pretty good trickery.
