The Mod Squad was probably the ultimate example of
the establishment co-opting the youth movement of
the late 1960s. Its three members were "hippie
cops," each of them a dropout from straight society
who had had his own brush with the law. Pete was a
longhaired youth who had been kicked out by his
wealthy Beverly Hills parents and stolen a car;
Linc was the Afroed son of a ghetto family of 13,
raised in Watts and arrested in the Watts rioting;
Julie was the daughter of a San Francisco prostitute
who had run away from home and had been arrested
for vagrancy. All three were on probation and
looking for some way to make sense out of their
lives when they were approached by Captain Adam
Greer, who recruited them for a special "youth
squad." Their purpose was to infiltrate the
counterculture and ferret out the adult criminals
who preyed upon the young in Southern California.
There was no finking on their own generation.
A contentious trio, always questioning their own
motives and their differing cultural backgrounds,
the Mod Squad nevertheless proved an effective
undercover task force against adult crime. For the
first season they rattled around in a battered old
1960 station wagon named "Woody," but it was
driven over a cliff early in the second season.
