This was a series of syndicated episodes in 1956 through 1957. Rabco TV Productions -- I doubt it still exists -- may be your place to attempt a contact. Programs like this were a starting place for people like Claude Akins and Mike Connors. Good shorts. Thanks for finding and offering them.
I wouldn't go through a guy's wallet until he confirmed how much money he was carrying.
Indubidubly 🙂
When I was a kid driving taxi at night -- different times -- I took a drunk home. When we got to his street he was passed out an couldn't give the house number.
If he woke up while I was going through his wallet he could have charged me with theft so I had the dispatcher call the police. By the they arrived he was still passed out so they went into his wallet to pay me, and then arrested him and took him off to the drunk tank.
You have to anticipate the big picture.
Not sure they had the authority to pay you out of his wallet. That's one for the legal dept.@randytaylor1258
Strange how, much like Jack Webb's Adam-12 reason-for-being, shows like these were developed to show law enforcement in a good light. LASD was used around this time to forcably remove Chavez Ravine residents (eminent domain) from their homes to build Dodger Stadium.
dragnet was lapd propaganda. all large city and some small city pd's were corrupt such as ramparts in LA and river rats in miami. river rats inspired miami vice tv show
It was a tragedy that they tore apart a really great community to build Dodger Stadium, but the police don't make the laws or court orders.
@@charlesrobert6211 That's true. But, they carry them out. Today, our law enforcement officers at the highest level are being used as weapons for political purposes and it stinks. Any member of law enforcement, who takes his/her job seriously and is committed to protecting American citizens, would not settle for what they did in Chavez Ravine or what they have been doing today. I for one would resign before I violate a single American's Constitutional rights.
The Sheriffs were more than happy to comply with that assignment. The prejudice they had against the Mexican American communities in Los Angeles was no secret , anyone living in any one of those MACs got at a taste of that prejudice. Sometimes we got a subtle taste , sometimes a much less than subtle one.
The car is actually a light gray. In the 50's, LA County Sheriff had black & whites for traffic. Regular patrol or "prowl" cars were plain, they called them "gray ghost" units. LAPD also used b/w cars for traffic enforcement & plain cars for patrol until 1955.
Great show! Reminds me a lot of my favorite 1950s tv series, "Highway Patrol with Broderick Crawford"!! Really enjoyed watching this!👍✨️🩷✨️
How about the irate wife? Poor guy hated going back home. 🤣🤣🤣
He'd be doing a stretch nowadays.
@@redtobertshateshandles You got that right. 😀
I find this story very interesting. I lived through a very similar situation. A highly respected deputy I knew had been stealing money from businesses in the evening while checking out closed buildings. The owner of one, who had been previously victimized, set up a secret video recorder which caught the thief in the act one night. I saw the video. It clearly showed the thief in action actually even panning a close up the name tag on his uniform. The next time I saw him he was in jail. Never saw of heard from him again….
Read the book Serpico. Cops can be dirty.
This plays like a Jack Webb show
Friday never touches anyone´s wallet.
Herb Vigran: busiest supporting actor in TV and radio in the '50s.
thumbnail woman looks like Alison Janney
Looks like Ida Lupino to me
What's with the white Sheriffs' cars with no markings except a decal in the rear quarter window? I realize that the original title of :Code 3" was "Red Lights and Siren" but a police car without passive markings is naked, and the whole point of emergency lights and siren is to make the vehicle visible.
A plain white car is invisible.
Unmarked cars ?
Or no official police department cars were used in the filming of the series. Take an ordinary sedan, place a "police" sticker from the art department somewhere, and stick a light/siren prop on top with a magnet. The "Highway Patrol" series used this for its filming.
In the 1950's LA Sheriff used black & whites for traffic enforcement only. Regular patrol used plain cars with emerg lights. The car in the show is actually a light gray. They called them "gray ghosts". LAPD had same concept - blk & whts for traffic & plain "prowl" cars for patrol until 1955.
These coppers wouldn't have covered up SL crime 1986
A foolish plot
Good plot, just from a parallel universe of Los Angeles County.
