Many works of fiction represent real-life legal issues poorly, and sometimes with interpretations that are downright ridiculous. 

Examples can be found at the TVTropes link on ["Artistic License - Law"](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ArtisticLicenseLaw?from=Main.YouFailLawForever).

Are questions about the (correct or incorrect) usage and application of law in such works on-topic?
