i gave up expecting these characters to have rules they abide to as criminals. the wire was instrumental in teaching mainstream audiences the true thinking of a criminal on all levels. unwritten laws you adhere to, never on the phone, dont speak in rooms, always have muscle watch your step,
people on power always talked on the phone, half the time didnt wear gloves, cameras never seemed to catch anyone doing anything, spoke of criminal activity freely anywhere even in the middle of manhattan, rolled alone all the time, text after text implicating themselves. etc. clearly these guys lived in a world im not familiar with.
