 I have no idea. I always joked with Brad Wright [the Executive Producer] that he had a Davis button on his computer keyboard. If he ran out of names, he just hit 'Davis'! Everything's Davis, right.

 The police officer standing right there did not do one thing. He said that's not his job. It's the sergeant's job, which I think is ridiculous.
