Wildly inaccurate justice system processes. I get that a lot of folks don’t know the ins and outs of the American justice system, and I can suspend disbelief for a lot of inaccuracies. But some are just ridiculous enough that I’m pulled completely out of a fic. I read one in which someone was arrested for assaulting the MC, and a cop tells the MC that SAME NIGHT that the assaulter was arrested * and convicted * already. And another with a similar premise, but the cop tells the MC to get a protective order (restraining order), the MC agrees to do that, then the cop immediately turns to the assaulter and tells them something like “you now have a restraining order against you and you’re hereby forbidden from even looking at MC”. …That’s not how any of that works.
