I’m not saying you are wrong. But aren’t you reading too much into it? I find shows where the characters are always perfect to be boring and predictable
Also, I think that there is a clue that this opinions is biased: you can use the same shows to say the opposite “in these shows they always show the cops breaking the law. They are anti cop propaganda”
It’s also interesting to include Luther in there. Luther is the embodiment of an anti-hero, and is constantly getting into trouble for disregarding due process. He’s certainly not lauded as the hero in the end.
I’m not familiar with too many of the other shows portrayed, that just stood out to me. I don’t doubt that there are some instances where “copaganda” plays into it, but I think it’s more likely that due process is kind of boring to show on screen, it’s just more entertaining to have the main character do whatever it takes to solve the case. And really good cop shows explore the negatives of doing so just as much as any supposed positives.

Still copaganda. He’s an “antihero” who is portrayed as getting the right answer the wrong way.
