I wonder how US Customs agents have the power to harrass someone in Europe, and how the FBI can run someone out of Switzerland.

I read he become a hippie in wales, shortly after the case. it dosen't seem to mention it here MT

Why do writers put themselves on a first name basis with the subjects? I looked for this article to tell me about Serpico, not about "Frank". This thing needs a lot of work to remove the non-neutral melodramatics.

[edit] Police Medal of Honor,

[edit] Tone of article/Plagiarism?

The tone of much of the article doesn't read anything like a Wikipedia article ought to read. It seems, if I may be blunt, like it was taken straight out of a book or movie script. The tone, combined with the fact that much of it was contributed by IP 207.67.58.* and not username, leads me to believe the copy may be plagiarized from another source. Can someone run down a copy of the book and the film screenplay and examine them for plagiarism? Robert 17:09, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

• i think much of this article was lifted directly from a Gadfly article found here Serpico:The fate that gnaws at him 192.223.226.6 19:09, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
