Timothy Bowen is a 25
year veteran of the Los Angeles Police
Department. He is the author of You
got photos? You got prints? You aint got
S.H.I.T. Some Heavy Intellectual Testimony.
Timothy Bowen said of
the book, "The title of the book comes from
a partner of mine in days gone by. He
arrested a burglar, and, as he was
transporting him to the station, this
criminal said, "You got photos? You got
prints? You ain't got shit." At a time when
we need proof for everything, I thought the
quote was quite fitting. It summarizes our
system of justice, such as it is. It also
typifies us as a nation, in that none of us
seem to accept responsibility for our
actions anymore."
On reader of
You got photos? You got prints? You aint got
S.H.I.T. Some Heavy Intellectual Testimony
said, ".Having never worked in
law enforcement, I was skeptical when a friend
loaned me this book. What an unexpected treat
to find my attention arrested and handcuffed by
retired LAPD Officer Bowen from the
Introduction on. By page 16, the tears had
started to run and I was howling out loud, from
police hilarity. I recommend this book to
anyone who has managed to love their job in
spite of difficult customers, unsupportive
managers, and eternal confusion over what The
Big Picture is or why anyone in their right
mind would try to fit into it."
