* ''Series/{{Psych}}'': Season 5 opens with Psych's caseload being non-existent, due to Henry being hired by Chief Vick to act as a liaison for the consultants the department uses, including any potential psychic detectives; in reality, Henry likely wouldn't have even been offered the job in the first place, due to a perceived Conflict of Interest, as Shawn is his son, and anyone unfamiliar with how the SBPD works would assume that Psych, a business he helps run, would get preferential treatment; however, because Henry is a hardass, Psych gets purposefully excluded.

* ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'': After Spider-Man catches the car thief, the cop who shows up almost immediately draws his gun and ''tries to shoot Spidey in the face''. Especially egregious since Spidey was ''unarmed'' and doing nothing but ''talking'', and the car thief was webbed to the wall ''not 20 feet behind him, directly in the cop's line of fire''. Even if it could be assumed that the cop thought Spidey's web-shooters were weapons, that doesn't remotely justify an immediate lethal response without even a warning or stand-down order, and while a bystander could be hit.

* ''VideoGame/DestroyAllHumans2'': In Albion, regular police officers on the street carry firearms. In real life, all regular [[TheGreatBritishCopperCapture British police forces are unarmed]], with the special exception of Northern Ireland. Obviously this was changed for gameplay purposes since unarmed officers would provide no opposition.

** 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.
