Cops-Raleigh

On cop shows when they show somebody getting arrested, it seems so tidy. They pat the suspect down, declare him "clean" or get all in his face because they find something. It happens really fast. Find guy/pat guy down/read rights/put into waiting cop car. The end. If they are trying to for gritty, they might slam the guy on the hood of the car before they, breifly, search him.

In real life, and I've seen guys get the pat down/rights read/into cop car thing. They spend a lot more time with the patting down part and the searching/tearing suspects car apart part. The bad guy is on his knees or on his face or sitting on the curb in cuffs for a long time while they are removing everything from his vehicle and going back and forth to the cop car and at least here, there is usually more than one cop car involved with the arresting.

On cop shows they always tippy toe around searching suspects cars or they impound them or whatever. Not here. Here we search folks cars and go through their belongings in front of Gawd and everyone.
