There are a couple of shows that are particularly bad at advertising better methods for criminals. One was/is "Masterminds" on Court tv describing many criminal acts and techniques used to facilitate those acts.
It ought to be against public policy to re-enact criminal acts that might be emulated by others without sufficiently obscuring useful details for criminals. Another example is a show where two teams compete to steal something or other by defeating th security systems. DUmb beyond belief, and stupid to glorify idiotic behavior.
Utter nonsense. Please note that virtually every one of the "Masterminds" on that show were caught, some of them more than once.
