CSI Takes On Grand Theft Auto

Tycoon Guy was one of many to write "Looks like another 20 million viewers will be fed the 'video games promote violence' story tonight. Today's CSI: Miami episode will feature a group of kids who are inspired to go on a city-wide crime spree by a game that looks suspiciously like Grand Theft Auto. From the description: 'Delko witnesses a bank robbery and the CSIs soon discover that the culprits are playing out the action from the videogame 'Urban Hellraisers' on the streets of Miami. As they score points for each crime committed, the CSIs must discover what consists of getting to the next level in the game in order to stop the culprits before they strike again.'"

    The focus of the show isn't the same as Law & Order, which is a bit more far reaching.

    You mean that show that makes it look ok to trample on the bill of right?

    Then again... I suppose it wouldn't be interesting if everyone they arrested said "I plead the 5th!" and stayed silent throughout the entire episode.

    Even if you are innocent it actually benefits you to remain silent if you are a suspect or explain you don't remember and couldn't give valid information that would help them in their case.
