In The Fast and the Furious, Brian O’Conner is an LAPD officer. At the end of the movie, he loses his job because lets Toretto go.

In 2 Fast 2 Furious, O’Conner is not cop, but works for US Customs. At the end of the movie he is back to being a civilian.

In Fast & Furious, O’Conner is now and FBI agent (not sure when that happened), but his supervisor at the agency says he was lucky to be reinstated. Reinstated? When was O’Conner ever an FBI agent to begin with? By the end of the move, you guessed it, he loses his job and becomes a civilian again.

In Fast Five, O’Conner, Dom, and Mia have a run in with DEA agents aboard a train. Yes, he’s a civilian.

In Fast and Furious 6, O’Conner and Dom team ip with Hobbs in DSS (Diplomatic Security Services – the law enforcement arm of the Dept. of State)…so they’re kind of deputized as federal agents. End of the movie? Just a civilian, but at least in the government’s good graces.

Isn’t all this agency switching a little much? At this rate, by the end of the franchise, O’Conner will have worked for or with every branch of law enforcement at both local and federal levels.

I really hope they stop making these movies before we see Brian O’Conner: Mall Cop.
