The picture opens with an eerie shot of a dark cul-de-sac in the early morning hours. The only illumination comes from the house lights in the sleepy Pleasant View neighborhood. Then the headlights of the suspect vehicle appear in the distance. The music starts softly and grows louder as the headlights approach the hidden surveillance camera.

The trap is set, with the bait stacked in the driveway. The vehicle pulls up and stops. The music gets louder.

Solving crimes isn't as easy as it is on TV

OGDEN -- Believe it or not, some of that stuff on TV is made up. Law enforcement types wish reality would intrude on TV as much as TV intrudes on reality.

The raised expectations from the forensic miracles on such shows as "CSI" and "NCIS," even "Law & Order," just add an extra headache to the real-life job.

Jay Henry, director of the Utah State Crime Lab, aka Utah Bureau of Forensic Services, said he can't even watch.

"I don't watch the shows. They only have two cases an episode, and the whole staff is working on just those two. So what's that? Fifty cases a year? We do 4,000 cases a year."
