But there are many, many cases where this happens. And not just TV but big budget should-know-better movies. In any case, it always pisses me off when I'm watching, regardless of the why.

I might have to check out Wallander…

because Wallander was consistent with its 1970s-era police procedures, i suspect the producers aimed pretty low which is a real shame because it’s a great character piece and the character’s a freakin’ cop!

Why do they do that? I honestly can't stand it. I humph and snort whenever I see the cop with years, YEARS of experience, go into an abandoned building ON HIS OWN, without even calling for backup! At least, please dear god, can't they try, and have their radio down or something?! When the story does something really DUMB just for the sake of drama, throwing reason or character consistency out the window, I could truly scream. It's the ultimate lazy story telling, and, as you said, it is highly insulting! Humph! AUGH!!! WHY? Why do they do that? I honestly can’t stand it.
