No one's saying that the incidents in Police Interceptor don't happen or that they are putting it on for TV.
What's important is which incidents are aired.
You must surely be able to appreciate that situations where little or nothing happens don't make it off the cutting room floor. Whereas incidents with a story to tell and lots of action, will make it onto our screens, as these attract the most viewers. An alien landing in the UK without a critical mindset might assume that these are representative of most arrests.
I'm sure you know better than that alien. And I hope you can appreciate that such action-packed incidents are untypical of the majority of arrests in this country.
