Wearing a stupid woolen cap, even indoors. I thought that was confined to idiotic 20-somethings?

I wsa just watching the local news, and one municipal politician was
wearing a hat, kind of covering everything. But he was outside.

On the other hand, it looked like the instances you describe.

And he may have been trying to hide his long hair. I actually can't tell
if he has a scrawny pony tail, or just hides it well.

Most men at one time wore hats, but the common courtesy was to remove them in someone's home or office.

I think that is the point, Elias Koteas is 56 years-old and most cops are retired by that age. So I'm guessing he is trying to hide his old age.

That is a problem on so many police shows. feds retire by age 55. NCIS Mark Harmon is 65 years-old. Scott Bakula is 62 years-old on the NCIS spin-off. Major Crimes has G.W. Bailey is 72 years-old. Tony Denison is 67 years-old.

Would never happen is real life.

Law & Order SVU retired their old guys.

All except Mariska Hargitay who looks like someone's grandmother. But it really
doesn't matter to me because I stopped watching the show when Christopher Meloni left.

Nope. Mandatory retirement age for a federal agent is 57.

Sure it would and does. Many senior agents apply for and get an
extension of mandatory retirement. If they pass the medical exam and are
still fit for duty, the extension is routinely granted.

What about those who have been promoted out of the field?

What's the age record for the oldest serving "field" agent?...

We don't have any distinction between field and non-field. Everyone's an
active agent, regardless of locale or assignment and everyone has to be
able to work protection to stay on the job.

They killed him off the show a while back so problem solved, but they could (since he was near bald just had him shave his head. He'd look like he did in the movie, "Some Kind of Wonderful."
