I also get really annoyed every single time you have a cop say you need to wait 24-48 hours to report a missing person. No. No you do not. Also the make them wait on the phone so we can trace them thing is annoying since that isn't legit either.


Yeah, that along with the "If you didn't read them their Miranda Warning, they get away free and clear!" Some are because Hollywood didn't keep up with technology, but others are where the reality gives away to plot convenience.

The 100% of your brain thing is also anger inducing. The fact they make entire movies on this premise is rage inducing.

That is a favorite pet peeve of mine as well. As one biologist put it: "If you could get by with just ten percent of your brain... your brain would only be ten percent of its current size."

The "one phone call" thing is a pet peeve of mine with cop movies/shows. It's always treated like this legal requirement, when in reality it's nothing.

Also how cops will just beat the **** out of people in interrogations. We see tons of real life allegations of brutality, but in movies, cops just go to town on someone and it's treated like no biggie.
