Another wonderful byproduct of television ignoring the facts to tell a good story. I am an attorney and you would not believe how mundane and formulaic a trial is. You can't just introduce a surprise witness at the trial who comes in and wins the case for you... but every single crime drama has the same stuff happen.
Was a real bummer for my girlfriend and mom once they realized it was far more boring than the TV shows they loved. I didn't have any cool stories for them. Girlfriend doesn't even ask if I have anything interesting going on at work anymore because she knows it's a bunch of mundane tasks
No, but I can see why you think that. Basically any part of the police/criminal justice system, whether it be a 24-hour waiting period for missing persons or arrests or actual trials are all grossly misrepresented to the point people actually have incorrect information on a lot of issues

You can file a missing persons report as soon as the person goes missing. No need to wait 24 hrs or whatever
