Luckily, the police officers who investigate him never bother building an actual case against him.

** A good chunk of season 5 onward involves Phoebe's job as an advice columnist where she is repeatedly showered with praise and fame for her "edgy" and "intuitive" advice. While we hear a few snippets of her work over the course of the series (none of which are worth writing home about), Phoebe's success is gained pretty quickly as she already has her own billboard within under a year of working as an advice columnist, a job she got with little to no qualifications or experience.

* ''Series/HeirToTheThrone'', a 1987 Taiwanese series based on the life of the anti-Manchurian resistance hero Zheng Cheng-gong ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koxinga Koxinga]] in English) does this with some of the enemy captains. Notably, the Manchurian Commander, Yi-ba, is supposed to be so cruel and ruthless to the point where "he leaves behind a corpse every ten steps"... except the show doesn't display any of Yi-ba's misdeeds, as Zheng Cheng-gong tracks down his hideout and kills Yi-ba in an ambush fifteen minutes after Yi-ba's introduction, before the villain could perform any actual onscreen villainy. In contrast, Yi-ba's predecessor, Commander Shih-le, has a far bigger rapsheet of atrocity, ordering a whole town massacred in order to intimidate Zheng Cheng-gong into surrendering besides demanding a prisoner executed by his men every hour until Zheng submits to his rule.

** Rear Admiral Norah Satie from "The Drumhead" is spoken of as a skilled investigator; when she comes aboard the ''Enterprise'' to help investigate espionage and possible sabotage to the warp drive, Picard is thrilled to have her help. Unfortunately, she does nothing useful, as Worf has already solved the case by the time she arrives; her efforts turn into a WitchHunt that disgraces a good Starfleet technician simply for being half-Romulan, and her attempt to bring down Picard exposes her as a full-on InsaneAdmiral.
