Well, other than the fact it allows the characters to usually have a
lot more freedom and ability to be chaotic, than another police
officer.
In US Television, one would think that almost 50% of the population
were cops, and 99% were incorruptible...
And one couldn't be farther than the truth.

It also allows them to have a very interesting criminal population
which the characters would constantly be in conflict with.
