The very premise of this show is a lie. There is NO SUCH THING as photographic memory or perfect recall. Human memory is fragile, unreliable and easily influenced by a variety of factors. Two people can have completely different versions of the same event without either person thinking that they're lying or behaving deceptively. In fact, the more confident a detective is that they know exactly how events unfolded, the more likely they are to make a mistake. The more sure a detective is, the more likely they are to get tunnel vision and exclude any other reasonable explanation. Law enforcement has a vested interest in lying to you. ID has a vested interest in perpetuating law enforcement propaganda. You should not be applauding this detective for failing to take notes. You should be thinking, "why on earth doesn't this guy think proper documentation is necessary?"
