The cringiest thing is when the narrator overanalyze every movement and portary the body language of the criminal as "telltale signs of guilt", and if the suspect is innocent (some videos also include arrests of innocent people), the narrator immediately say the body posture are "telltale signs of being innocent". Lmao wtf. Y'all read the entire story before making the documentary, hindsight 20/20.

Can you name some examples of what you're watching where this happens? You might like JCS Criminal Psychology on YouTube, he covers forensic interviews and goes into detail on how both the interviewer and interviewee act.

I don't know why we're so obsessed with using posture and tone to infer criminality when we have perfectly good forehead slope ratios to achieve the exact same thing.

Why use the pseudo-scientific polygraph when the much simpler pseudo-scientific calipers can do the trick? Plus, the racism is included with the calipers, you don't have to do any work in that regard!
