[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9578353, member: 6684958"] Yes, it could be done.....but only as a show with a very focused megaplot. The Elite Cops that travel the Federation to help the local cops with the rare crimes could work. Though, all that "crime" might not feel like Star Trek. The Federation ideal is that there would be little crime as all the technology would prevent most of it. And crime really does destroy the "ideal utopia". You can't really have crime drama WITHOUT a dark, gritty crime filled society....drama needs fuel. BUT even more then that is the utopian ideal that people just would NOT commit crimes, not matter what. That people, humanity would just: Be Good. Such people exist today.....Star Trek just has a world were it is nearly everyone. Would a Golden Age Crime show even work? Someone does a crime....no modern drama...and they just catch the person?
