19. It takes longer on the cops shows because they never turn the room lights on.

The whole room is lit in only a blueish light so dim that the light of the computer screens and scopes is the brightest thing. Very hard to see in that light and it is hard to see bruises or other trauma because everything looks blue.

Also since they are not wearing masks, hair nets or gloves they introduce a lot of foreign matter into the body so it takes longer of course because for hours they are like "oh I found a hair..maybe this is from the killer?...nope, that's another one of mine..."
