I have been making this argument for years about cop shows like BAU normalizing the casual violation of rights as being necessary to catch suspects. It is a fascist ideology

Copaganda shows basically always have some instance of the police breaking the law to get the perp but it's framed as a good thing.

Honestly, i wish we could go back to the days when the Copaganda was about making the cops look more noble and rule abiding than they actually are.

Watch Line of Duty from the BBC

It's the only show I can think of where IA are the good guys because they root out dirty coppers
