thanks but not it..

this one was a kind of low-key 'thriller' / drama type affair, iirc... kind of 80s Golum/Globus productions feel to it

another scene I'm 95% sure was in it, was a different cop parked up behind a guy in another car who he's after... he's trying to be inconspicuous but then his CB radio goes off and it's on max volume, giving his cover away

This was a fairly popular topic for character analysis in college. By the way, this [spam removedl] guide to character analysis offers step-by-step instructions and examples to help improve structure and depth. By using structured approaches, you can make sound arguments and develop critical thinking skills.
Is that 21 Jump Street or a similar undercover cop show from that era? The premise of cops going undercover in high schools was pretty popular back then. If it's not 21 Jump Street, maybe Booker or even a TV movie with a similar concept.

only noticed when I looked closer (then checked their other posts)... seemed like a legit reply!

Their response seem human. The trick they use is to quote another's post and then bury their link in the quote. Crafty, annoying, and pointless.
