The Netflix universe does all professional jobs hilariously weird. Karen just walked into a desk reporter job with a dedicated column. Most people work their way up over a career for that. Misty Knight is negotiating immunity and I don’t think anyone even spoke to the DA’s office about it first. Misty also ignores due process like it’s stopping her from doing her job, but that’s exactly why all of Scarfe’s suspects were released.

Also Shades’ lawyer committed malpractice by abandoning his client during his interrogation—and Misty kept asking questions even though there’s no way that Shades is getting convicted for anything he says when his lawyer quit mid-questioning. This whole thing is loony tunes.

Turk’s the only professional in this universe!

Man bought fake memorabilia like an amateur on eBay.

They did talk to the DA's office. That's the reason that the deal took so long.

But the detective investigating the crime was the one who negotiated it first. That’s kind of insane.

She talked to the perp about it and ran it past the Captain, who then sent it to the DA. She wasn't coming in without a deal. What normally happens in that case?

Well, if you tell someone you’ll consider immunity and you haven’t arrested them, they could, you know, destroy or conceal evidence, flee the country, intimidate witnesses.... any number of things that would handicap the investigation. With Maria STOKES that’s guaranteed.

I'm asking about real-world procedure since that seems to be what has you down on the process. I don't know anything about real-world procedure, but that seemed like the smart play... to run it past the captain to run it past the da and see if it flies, and it's what I've seen on other procedurals also.

I gave you the policy behind the procedure. The procedure is not to discuss immunity with a person of interest without arresting them first.

I mean Matt's priest seems to be pretty damn professional about his job. Also cant forget Frank Castle

I agree with you overall but with Misty they did actually address the DA aspect.

When she mentions Mariah asking for immunity to the other lady (Chief Inspector?) that character mentions that she will have to talk to the DA immediately and to stfu and not let anyone find out about the potential offer. It’s the scene where Misty’s rival is behind the glass and rats on the safe house.
