Agreed.

Even if there's an attempt at social engineering, the audiences would have their own motivations for watching.

Anyone have information about whether such shows are popular with people who are subject to obviously corrupt and/or arbitrarily violent policing?

Infallible police shows might also be popular because people identify with the police-- it would be fun to be right all the time and able to enforce it.
