DRAGNET a Police drama from 1967 is about LSD use in Los Angeles. This was the first time COLOR television was used in the DRAGNET series... the show was black and white until the scene where people took LSD and then it switched to COLOR!

at the same time Buffalo Springfield wrote it's "For What it's Worth" song about teenage riots in LA.
and Biff Rose wrote "Buzz the Fuzz" and I can see the characters from the TV Show playing the parts of Buzz and Alice D.
No memorable motorcycle cops in the TV Show but... what if... Jack Webb was Buzz?
The street scenes are very similar to "The Trip" movie by Jack Nicholson, Peter Fonda.
While the drug LSD was not ILLEGAL at the time, the main character was arrested for being "In danger of leading an idle, dissolute or immoral life, section 601 of the welfare and institutions code."
Make you wonder... was there Really ever a law prohibiting an Idle, Dissolute or Immoral Life...

Song Lyrics:
"Buzz The Fuzz" by: Biff Rose
Once there was a fellow
And his name was Buzz
He was just a rookie cop
Just a baby fuzz
He patrolled the Sunset Strip
In the land of the free
And the home of the hip
He protected you and me
Until he met a girl named Alice D.
Alice was the girl that all good hippies dread
And they called her Sweet Alice D. Head
Alice it was plain to see
Was full of pot and STP
She'd attract a great big crowd
Because her inner peace
Was much too loud
Good Buzz did the thing
That good fuzz must
Shoved his gun in Alice's chest
And said "Dis is a bust!"
Put the flashlight to her eyes
She began to hyp-no-tize
Buzz said "What a wild sensation
This must be halu-halu-sinay-sinay-shun-shun-shun."
Love is so sensational
When you fall in love
With eyes dilational
Buzz said "Alice, you I like.
Come take ride on my fuzzy bike.
Soon it will be gettin' dark
And we can watch the stars
From Griffith Park."
So they both went out and dug astrology
Through their mutual halucinology
Now they're taking pills and shots
And Buzz is not afraid of Watts
Buzz and Alice D have shown
The way of where the fuzz
Might be some day
Buzz is still a cop of course
He's the pusher on the force
He's protecting you and me
From evil women like poor Alice D.
