I’ve noticed both medical dramas and police dramas rely heavily on Californian legal practice, because Hollywood. For example, I just watched the episode of Doc (it’s literally just called Doc) where a doctor saved someone on the “DNR list” and almost got suspended, and so here I was thinking “the patient’s perspective would never fly in my environment”. Of course, though, the US (and definitely California) are not the whole world. So I was wondering, what’s an episode of a medical/police drama you could think of where, in your legal environment, the characters would seem crazy for diving into the topic of how they did?

Hey mod/poster, you removed my reply, added one of your own that was down voted…are you applying for a US government post or what?
Also, my post totally answered the prompt and you didn’t cite any community rules as to why it was removed, so I assume it’s because you don’t understand or agree with it, which seems like a “you, poster” problem not a mod issue. You make Lemmy a worse place with this kind of abuse of mod responsibility.
There is a rule saying no US politics is allowed if it’s tangential. I have been trying to balance that with an understanding of how things develop, but then you have things like people turning it into a deterrent as well as a window to break other rules. So I thought “well this conversation that seemed oddly specifically Trumpy seems forgotten about” and I removed it :(
So how would you propose to have a discussion about legal topics that you opened without tangentially discussing politics? Laws are passed by politicians, appointed or elected officials, through ballot measures by voters, or by mandate of autocrats.
Genuinely curious how you think your thread could possibly not break the rule you’re citing as law, by definition, comes out of a political process?
You should remove your own thread, it sets up discussions the community claims it doesn’t want to host .
Discussions of law don’t necessitate anything relating to specific political issues, scandalous or not. I can’t remember a relevant TV program that speaks of a specific person in power, which is why when you said what you said, I asked what media actually came to mind when you said that, and I was wondering if it was hypothetical. After a while, it just seemed random and forgotten, so after people were negatively bringing up the leniency (breaking rules 3 and 5, which is why that was locked), I removed it to clean it and withdrew my own comment (which was an honest question that got booed even before I did anything) to be fair. That is all, nothing like a ban or anything.
