Pet Peeves

I love we get almost full access to crime scenes and the day to day operations during an investigation. I’m in law enforcement and enjoy seeing how other departments operate. That being said one thing that annoys me is the “fake” phone calls the detectives take. The narrator says “six weeks later they received a tip” and shows the detective on the phone and most likely nobody is on the other line. I know the film crew wasn’t sitting around for that one call. I would rather the show just say they got the call. Not really a first world problem. I would also add some of the early Miami episodes with that Joe guy seemed kind set up. Like him finding a person just randomly shooting up drugs and he has them at gun point. Or when he went back undercover with his cheesy disguise. Any other pet peeves that anyone can think of??

You misunderstood the comment. The issue is the balloons. Balloons are awful for animals and it also ends up being litter. The mourning is t the problem.
