Law & Order Outta Order

Brilliant: The pretend New York's Finest at Law & Order are in trouble with the law. It seems that the crew was using "unlicensed walkie talkies" that actually disrupted NYPD transmissions, and a police officer ended up going to the soundstages at Chelsea Piers where Law & Order films. The FCC is fining producers $10,000 for the infraction. Gothamist wonders if Representative Tom Delay has anything to do with this, as he's been crying like a little baby about how the show used his name. Universal Television, which produces the show, tells the NY Post that they disagree with the outcome, but they are cooperating.

One of Gothamist's best days ever: Our visit to the set of Law & Order.

as a son of a DANY prosecutor i could never get into this show. i would sit through it and try to watch but the "non-reality" depictions of the the circumstances these guys work in always turned me off. anywho...i know its a great show but i have been tainted by growing up with a DA
