TV crime drama shows give the un-informed public a skewed and unrealistic view and expectation of law enforcement and court procedures. For instance: there is always lots of gunplay - criminals can be "cool" and "glamorous" - prosecutors always win their cases - DNA and fingerprint evidence is ALWAYS available in EVERY case - etc. - etc. It can lead to misunderstanding the difficulties and complexities of the "real-life" criminal justice system. Not all crimes are solved and tried in 60 minutes.
