When looking for information in books, binders or any periodical... they ALWAYS turn to the very page they're looking for on the first try and it's always followed with a "Ah... here it is..."

Yup. Even on TV, that's ridiculously common. Sleepy Hollow is horrible at this. They'll be standing in a huge library and someone thinks of a single passage and always immediately knows exactly what book it's in and where that book is.

Not sure about movies, but at least on tv shows, when ever someone gets arrested, someone they know says they have to go get some money and bail them out, and thats it, as if there out of trouble then. I for years thought that. But they hardly ever show them having to go back to court, the process it takes and it they are found innocent ,guilty or take a plea deal.

Very true, but that's also because the episode or movie is over before the supposed, future court appearance

True, but its just so false. Even in shows like Law and Order, they skip things for the sake of the show.Very true, but that's also because the episode or movie is over before the supposed, future court appearance

That sounds like an awesome Law & Order spinoff, that would fit well in today's entertainment landscape.
Seems like a better show than Powerless. (which I really want to like, but don't so far)
Especially when their concept of what's "nerdy" looks like it came from movies from 1992.
Well, technically, the superhero is not arresting people. They just tie them up and leave them for the cops. You know, false imprisonment. So I would bet that all the criminals they catch end up going free because of that.

I remember seeing this actual guy dressed like a super hero, but he would go around with a video camera, film a crime, then call the police. So I guess in that way, they have the evidence and have caught the bad guy. Then the "Super Hero" leaves the scene with no issues.
"I am Cameraman! I am here to record your nefarious deeds and then hand it over to the appropriate authorities!"

Technically, the tied up guy could still be easily prosecuted for their crime(s) if the evidence etc is there. Them being falsely imprisoned is a separate crime for which they are a victim of, it would be up to them to press charges and the police to then apprehend and prosecute the hero responsible.
Any chase scene involving a motorbike, whether it be the hero or villain, there will always be a gratuitous wheelie shot.
Spy movies, or those involving people working with a secret agency of some sort, the person(s) they were sent to protect show themselves to be adept at spy work and usually end up working for the agency at the end.

...that conveniently manages to hide the rider's face so audiences won't be able to tell it's a stunt person and not the actor playing the role.

Or they don't try all that hard and you DO see a stuntman in a helmet in the car, i.e. "Remember The Titans". Paused on the shot and everything.

But not when it involves a motorcycle, the hero almost always conveniently wears a full faced helmet with a dark visor. On the rare occasion we see them without a helmet it's always shot from the back.

dont forget that any motorbike in a chase has somewhere around 476 gears, give or take 10, to change to
