I couldn't find an official tagline, but "There is a border between justice and crime." is an option, from the description on wikipedia.

About - Ashes to Ashes

"The 80's are back and it's Criminal."

Ashes to Ashes is a drama series that premiered on February 2008.



About the Show:
DI Alex Drake of the Metropolitan Police is taken hostage and shot, and wakes to find herself apparently thrown back in time to 1981. She quickly recognises DCI Gene Hunt and his team from detailed reports made by DCI Sam Tyler about his own trip to 1973.

Initially sceptical about the surreal nature of her new environment, Alex, a modern, no-nonsense woman, clashed regularly with her sexist colleagues but had to learn to adjust while she strove to find her way back to 2008. As time passed, Alex started to accept her situation, and wonder whether her life in the future had been the dream. Executive Producer Jane Featherstone described this spin-off from Life on Mars as "a touch of Moonlighting teamed with a measure of Miami Vice." The show aimed to build on the success of its award-winning predecessor, resurrecting Philip Glenister's ever-popular detective while taking the opportunity to wink at 1980s fashions and attitudes.

Ashes to Ashes is a spin off from Life on Mars (UK) (not on viptv yet - suggest it in the New Show Suggestion Thread).
They also made a remake of Life on Mars (UK):
