Another version of "you are over qualified" for this job, an oxymoron if I ever heard one.

Clearly a conspiracy by Irish and Italians police brass to keep out Jews.

I've heard about departments doing this for a long time.

As far as I know, Detectives work their way up through from the street, right? So they would have the same limits?

So all the police procedurals on TV featuring super-genius defectives are pure fantasy...

[RA1]

TV a fantasy? Surely you jest.

Seems entirely so. My high school guidance counselor told me of being at some weekend professional convention when one of her roommates vanished while alone in their hotel room. Presumed kidnapped.

The local police worked it for two days with no success. Then the FBI came in, tracked down the woman and her kidnapper, and resolved the thing, with no one injured (can't recall the details), all within 4 hours.
