One of the things that scares me about the US criminal justice system is that it relies almost entirely on magical thinking and torture to secure convictions. I don't believe anyone is guilty unless they were literally photographed holding the bloody knife while standing over the body and even then I'll need some convincing to rule out potential mitigating circumstances.

      I love the idea of a crime mystery show where cops are the bad guys. Who would the good guys be?

          Nah... The people want some heroes to cheer for:

          In the criminal justice system police brutality, systemic racism and class oppression is fought by an elite squad of ????. These are their stories. Du-Dummm!

            KopBusters (2022)

            Join Barry Cooper, Comrade Chris Hansen, and a medium channeling the ghost of Christopher Dorner as they bust dirty police departments and serve justice on behalf of the people.

        The good guys are the Anarchist prisoner support group who right letters to all the wrongly convicted innocent prisoners.
