Fake Cop
Originally featured on Brad Cartner’s pod show Sick Man Talking, these episodes are now appearing here in a dedicated companion series focused entirely on Fake Cop.
In 2006, Brad bought a retired Ontario Provincial Police cruiser under questionable circumstances from a used car lot that shouldn’t have existed. Brad became Fake Cop, and the ongoing decline of Newmarket, Ontario is widely considered to have started that day.
Part surreal crime saga, part fractured mythology, Fake Cop follows an escalating chain of disasters stretching from suburban Canada to Los Angeles and beyond. A darkly comic fever dream where every decision could’ve been avoided, but wasn’t.
