It's a good antidote to the glamorised crime dramas out there, especially ''[[CSI: Miami]]'', since Miami is a frequent location in the show.

 

* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: In one case, the police, lacking evidence to arrest their main suspect for murder, arrested him for driving with a suspended license. This ended up being useful, as it allowed them to tow his car and search it for evidence, then use the car as bait to lure the suspect back to be arrested for murder once they had more evidence.

* [[Asshole Victim]] - Although they make a point of mentioning family members left behind, and pointing out they don't make judgements about the victim, many of the murder victims are criminals with the motive being things like a drug deal gone bad. In the few cases where the homicide is found to be self-defense, they will be a little less sympathetic.
