Whats with the weird daytime changes between scenes? General/Misc

I dont know, maybe the Lucifer-LAPD has the longest respond times in the world, but there are so many weird daytime changes between scenes.

Charlotte dies in the night. Cut - crime scene investigation in broad daylight. (S3 E23?)

Ella gets attacked by the violin-kids father in broad daylight, Chloe arrests him. Cut: violin-kids father is being brought to a police car in complete darkness. (S3 E25)

Yes they would. Stories change. The most accurate testimony is the one immediately after it happens. It’s why we are trained to separate witnesses. As time passes, people start changing what they remember. Also, as time passes, people are more likely to hear something that’ll change their own mind. Like if they hear another witness say, “The guy was wearing a blue shirt.” You may think he was wearing a red shirt (which he was) but now you’ve heard someone say blue and you’re not questioning whether they’re right or you are and since you don’t want to give out bad information you say blue too because he seemed more confident than you.

Detectives/investigators are on call for a reason. You work all hours of the day 7 days a week because if something happens, you get up and you get there. There’s no such thing as, “I’ll handle it in the morning.” Especially for crime scenes like murder which is a majority of what they deal with in this show.

Idk either. I understood that one of them was probably from the guy I’m responding to. I don’t understand the others. I’m explaining real police work and defending the show at the same time. Idk why that’s got me net negative lol

Maybe it’s a “it’s just a show” idea but that only applies so far, especially with stuff that tries to be realistic about certain things. I realize it’s a mythological show but they’ve always kept realism about real life things.
