Another thing these crime shows inculcate is two very important beliefs: that cameras are everywhere and necessary for catching criminals (made less Big Brother-ish by being so standard as to be banal); and that any shred of evidence is enough to tell mountains of information, so there is no escape from the law (flagrantly false given how infrequently crimes are actually solved). Columbo makes the latter work through sharp reasoning, but most modern shows rely heavily on a tech-based dragnet, and impossible forensics that bypass any need for reasoning like Columbo's.

Bonus for frequently getting info in interrogations, where shutting up would immediately de-rail everything. Flipping and provoking people is commonly relied upon.
