Former Major Crimes Detective Reveals What It Was Like Having A Job Like Theirs

To find out even more about this topic, we got in touch with the post's author, Reddit user InevitableEstimate69. He was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda and discuss what inspired him to start this conversation.

"I'm not an avid Reddit user, I just stumbled across the AMA section and saw some of the posts," the author shared. "I said to myself, '[Darn], I have cooler stories than these!'"

We also asked the OP if he was surprised by how much interest was shown in his post.

"Yes and no," he says. "I know True Crime and Law Enforcement shows are popular. I don't know why I was asked so many times what shows I liked to watch, though."

He also revealed that he didn't spill anything that was supposed to be kept secret. "I suppose it would have been frowned upon to share some case details while they were active, but they're all closed now. I was careful not to reveal sources and methods."

Finally, we asked the author if this trip down memory lane made him miss being a detective. "I already miss it every day," he admitted. "However, it is definitely not good for family life."
