Oh sweet Jesus, give me a break.
God I miss the old Law & Orders. In one episode the chief asks one of the detectives (Brisco I think) if he's going to pull a late shift working the case, to which he responds by inquiring if he's approved for overtime. When the response is negative, he says "I'll see you in the morning".
This was back when Law & Order was floundering in the ratings, of course. Later it would spin a 180 and we'd have what we have now; unbelievable supercops that stop at nothing to nail the bad guy. No expenditure of man-hours or taxpayer dollars is too great to secure the conviction of some dude who killed some nobody.
TV has broad license to be asanine, and there are plenty of signs to indicate the viewers like it that way.
