アメリカで最も人気のある警察官に関するテレビシリーズは、「ワイヤー」です。このシリーズは、ボルチモアでの警察の捜査の物語を描いています。この特定のシリーズは、警察官やギャングのお気に入りであり、法執行機関が麻薬密売組織を壊滅させるのに役立ちました。警察の情報源によれば、犯罪グループのリーダーたちは、特に携帯電話を頻繁に変えるなど、まさにテレビシリーズのヒーローのように振る舞っていました。作戦の準備中、警察はギャングの電話会話の盗聴を広範に利用しました。その結果、12人が逮捕され、43キログラムのコカイン、現金50万ドル、18丁の銃、そして5台の高級車が押収されました。ワイヤーの大ファンであったこの強盗団は、電話で自分たちの仕事についてだけでなく、次のエピソードの筋書きについても話しました。彼らを盗聴していた警察官たちもこの番組が大好きでした。エピソードを見逃しても、彼らの会話から詳細を常に知ることができました、と法執行機関の職員は述べています。この犯罪ドラマは、元警察記者のデイビッド・サイモンによってボルチモアで執筆、撮影、制作されました。

1. The Target
説明During the trial of D'Angelo Barksdale, a mid-level dealer accused of murder, the prosecution's star witness recants her testimony, resulting in a not guilty verdict. After the trial, Detective McNulty explains to Judge Phelan how he suspects the Barksdale crew for a line of related murders. After the judge contacts McNulty's superiors about this revelation, McNulty is taken to task for his indiscretion. Meanwhile, D'Angelo's free to return to work, but discovers he's been demoted to street level deals. -
2. The Detail
説明The witness who testified against D'Angelo winds up being a murder case for Detective “Bunk” Moreland. However, McNulty informs Bunk that, since the victim testified against D'Angelo, Avon Barksdale probably ordered this murder.

Business resumes in the pit with Bodie and Poot carrying the torch, using some of D'Angelo's wisdom and tactics.
