A couple of thoughts off the back of some of this thread. If you've not listened to it, give the podcast "Running from COPS" a listen. There are only six episodes, but they really get into some of the massive issues seemingly harmless shows like COPS and more recently Live PD bring with them. In particular, running disclaimers, but then showing people being arrested for crimes they didn't actually commit because the shows don't bother much with the aftermath of the arrest sequence. And they're re-run eternally. The podcast did run a brief update last week in light of the current protests.
The other things was a line in the ex-chief's newsletter this week: 'I once asked Law & Order creator Dick Wolf why there’s never a storyline about wrongful conviction on his shows. “Usually the guy they arrest did it,” was his response.'
