** You can use the radar gun to report drivers who are going as little as 1 mile over the speed limit and it will count as valid with no points being taken off for conduct. Although the police in real life are ''technically'' legally able to pull drivers over and issue tickets for it, the vast majority of officers in real life aren't going to waste their time over something ''that'' small, especially since it's very easy for the ticketed driver to successfully contest it in court. While it varies by state, it's generally recommended that the tolerance for speeding be no less than five miles over the speed limit.

* In many ''Website/{{GoAnimate}}'' videos, troublemakers get innocent people arrested by littering a soda bottle, running away, and making it look like the innocent person littered it. When a cop drives by, they immediately arrest the person for littering, even if they say they were just putting it away, and lock them up in jail. In real life, this kind of arrest would not be allowed, and would get the cop's badge taken away.

* In virtually every ''Literature/EncyclopediaBrown'' book, Bugs Meany tries to frame Encyclopedia for something, only for the other boy to prove that the accusations are bogus. Knowingly filing a fraudulent criminal complaint is a crime in and of itself in 99% of police jurisdictions, so Bugs' attempts to get Encyclopedia (who also needs be mention is the police chief's son, [[BullyingADragon which would lead to heavier book-throwing than usual]]) arrested for crimes that never happened should have gotten ''him'' arrested and thrown into a juvenile detention facility by the end of the third book.

And even if he got out or off, the fact that he had done this would be on his record, meaning that the police would likely ignore any later attempts at making similar accusations against the ''same person'' in later books.

Works of fiction about police officers, or even just featuring police officers as secondary characters, usually take a great deal of Artistic License as far as police work goes. Police work is often tedious. Arresting just one person means at least an hour or two of booking them and filling out the required paperwork. Much of how police are depicted in fiction, in exciting car chases with a commandeered car and car-to-car shootouts is... not entirely realistic. Let's face it, reality can be boring. And boring makes you not want to buy a movie ticket or change the channel to see what else may be on.
