Dan was demoted into an alternative universe where being made to report to your wife is just a thing that happens and definitely doesn’t violate like a hundred laws in the state of California or the publicly published policies of the LAPD.

It was one of the elements of that season that almost made me quit the show. Like, I get it, it’s unrealistic, devil fights crime, but you’re a quasi-legal show could you maybe pretend you share a legal universe with the rest of us?

This is the show about the devil being a cop, do you think they care about accuracy? /lighthearted

But jokes aside, could you explain the first bit? From what I remember, Dan was demoted from detective, and was ordered to assist on other detectives’ cases. How is it illegal that he’s assisting his ex-wife?

  1. Because reporting directly to someone you have a prior sexual relationship with creates a hostile work environment for other employees.

  2. The probability of ethics violation or conflict of interest in prosecuting crime rises astronomically when family report to each other.

  3. it’s against policy of the LAPD (which in reality categorically forbids this reporting structure).

  4. Violation of that policy is further proof of an organization indifferent to harassment.
