Retired police captain and Special Deputy US Marshal Rasheen Peppers rates fugitive chases in movies and TV, such as "The Fugitive," for realism.

Peppers breaks down the accuracy of various apprehension operations in "The Fugitive" (1993), "21 Bridges" (2019), and "The Bourne Supremacy" (2004), starring Matt Damon. He looks at the realism of surveillance and tracking methods in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" (2014), "Breaking Bad" (2013), and "Catch Me If You Can" (2002), starring Leonardo DiCaprio. He also breaks down the safety procedures during fugitive arrests in "Salt" (2010), "Prison Break" (2005), and "U.S. Marshals" (1998), starring Tommy Lee Jones.

Peppers was in law enforcement for 25 years, with 10 years of experience in fugitive investigations as a member of the US Marshals New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force. In 2009, "America's Most Wanted" nominated Peppers as one of its top fugitive hunters. He was also featured in the A&E reality show "Manhunters: Fugitive Task Force."

    Now you have to get a fugitive (still on the run) to review movies with fugitives
  • @AadamSaleem0
    You know back in house prime this dude totally chased down fugitives and said some cool and relevant line as he was cuffing them
  • @jakekunz5168
    This guy is who Sam L Jackson plays in the movies 😂😂
  • I really respect how mature this guy was on the hole no-nock thing. Really acknowledging the nuances
  • I must say, not only is Mr. Peppers extremely interesting to listen to, he has an awesome name.
  • Just like anything else, if you want to succeed, you need to know just as much, if not more than your adversary. I was a fugitive for over 5 years, but eventually turned myself in so I could get married and move on after serving my time. I spent 18 months learning/studying everything I could find on how the marshals service operates, who they hire and why, what their SOPs are, how they think, what their training consists of, etc. I even went to a local range frequented by SWAT officers, veterans, etc. once a week for over a year. I scrubbed all social media, cut all communication with family/friends, grew a beard, dyed my hair, got colored contacts, lost 30+ lbs (185 down to 152), avoided jobs similar to ones I worked prior and so on. It got to the point where I was forgotten and could have likely lived the rest of my life without worry, but I would have to come to grips with never seeing my family again, never traveling abroad again, never acknowledging my actual identity again… One day I woke up and called the agency that was hunting me (I was on the nightly news in multiple states dozens of times) and discussed a deal that my attorney presented and was ultimately accepted. The point of my post is that it’s actually far easier to evade capture than law enforcement would like you to believe, but it requires a combination of discipline, mental acuity, creativity and determination that is unpalatable or untenable for most people. I won’t lie and say anything I did was fun or easy or even remotely enjoyable, but when faced with losing your freedom, even the harshest conditions are embraced with open arms. I apologize for the lengthy comment, I just thought I could add something to the topic from a different perspective.
  • That story about having fugitives show up at a convention center was both genius on the cops end & stupid as h*ll on the criminals part. Idk about you but if I'm wanted for any reason by any person I will NOT be randomly accepting invitations to things that I have absolutely no prior knowledge of.
  • @ArZeeRP
    Rasheen Peppers is the greatest name I've ever heard. Definitely not going to borrow it for D&D purposes...
  • @Based_Shogun
    This guy was incredible. He actually rated them accurately, and often the experts rate the clips too highly for being inaccurate.
  • As a tracker for the Royal Guard myself, I'm impressed by how accurate his commentary is.
  • It's detective Peppers from "Manhunt: Fugitive Task Force" show that aired back in the day! Man I miss that show. Good to see him again.
  • @ashenmoonclash
    Simply love how this prior officer and Marshall public safety is the first thought everytime!
  • @jacobhoa
    "I didn't kill my wife!" "I don't care!" Peppers: "So, that reaction is true." WOW!
  • @0d0gn
    That 90%+ fugitive capture rate is due to anyone jumping bail is a fugitive. If i fail to show up to any court date i am then a fugitive. So its very easy for common people to be fugitives. The ones that dont get caught are the more important people.
  • @laurameakin
    Even with the first clip so informative loved this video. More “how real is it” with Rasheen please!
  • I used to love watching this guy on Manhunters: Fugitive Task Force.
  • @jeyel4722
    The reason its only Hank and Gomey out there, is because they have no feasible evidence on Walt to put forward to their department, so thats why they need to bait him out into the desert where the money is.
  • @AdamBittner
    Nice, an episode where I've seen almost all the movies and shows. Wonderful expert! Knowledgeable and succinct.
  • I believe that "No-Knock" warrants are needed in some situations. However, what I think is missing is a mandatory specific review after each one. A No-Knock warrant demands more robust supervision and oversight, before and after. Similarly, police having military vehicles. Yes, sometimes they are needed. But like the No-Knock warrant above, such needs more supervision and oversight, before and after.
