First of all, a police force hiring a former member as a contractor who’s now on medical disability for having a mental break and severe regression in his OCD is super problematic but also the lousy portrayal of what OCD is definitely pushed back public understanding of OCD by at least a decade

Shawn Spencer is an even worse example. He literally was trained by his detective dad to be an amazing detective, he then ends up contracting with the police force to do detective work while actively damaging evidence in his wacky “psychic visions” he causes members of the police force to believe in mystic pseudoscience because “this psychic detective is amazing, obviously other mystical workers are just as incredible at what they do!”, he causes the police force to directly pay a psychic contractor. And let’s be real, his motive is primarily trying to get with Detective Lassator’s partner who at worst puts up with his antics and at best is vaguely amused by him
