In The Spirit, two bank robbers take this approach to cover their crime. They don't realize they missed a little girl down the block, who fell down out of fear. The police are a bit peeved.
They're furious. Even the criminals and crime spots they'd normally turn a blind eye to, or at least politely ignore, get cracked down on in their search for the killers. The Spirit goes on the warpath. And they catch them, the little girl recognizing them in a lineup. (Apparently they'd been dragging in guys all day for her to look at.)
