Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })All of the threads have been pulled, The Summation has been made, the suspect has given his Motive Rant, and the lead detective has given the order to make the arrest, homages/shout-outs to Hawaii Five-O ("Book 'em, Danno!") optional. Cue the walk of shame, i.e. the Perp Walk, to the police car, past a group of onlookers that may include family, friends, enemies, or the media. In Fiction Land, this is often done in Slo Mo, and poses a much more significant risk for a Vigilante Execution than in Real Life. In some places (like Japan, for instance), the suspect is often offered the "dignity" of a cloth covering their cuffed hands and underaged suspects' faces are blacked out; in America, only shows like COPS will blur suspects' faces (to avoid any possible jury pool poisoning), but any objects covering hands and/or faces are generally self-provided.

Abacus: Small Enough to Jail: A major point of contention is the decision by authorities to take indicted Abacus employees out of the courthouse in a literal chain gang, where they were all handcuffed together. The Sungs charge that this was a deliberate humiliation. | |

After the first stage show in Now You See Me, The Four Horsemen (and their bags as per Henley's request) are walked out through the hotel lobby casino by the FBI. Subverted by the fact that they are smiling and nodding to the cheering and applauding fans. They would probably even be waving if they weren't handcuffed. | |

Luke Cage (2016): Cornell "Cottonmouth" Stokes gets perp-walked out of his nightclub by Misty Knight after shooting and killing her partner Rafael Scarfe, accompanied by the upbeat melody of "People Make The World Go Round" by The Stylistics. Then it turns to be all for naught as the NYPD is afraid of the corruption headlines in light of the Wilson Fisk ordeal. | |

Law & Order: The show and its spinoffs most often feature the "Up (or Down) the Courthouse Steps" version, and is the number one cause of Karmic Death for a perp who has otherwise escaped the long arm of the law. If this trope occurs before the half-hour mark, a Vigilante Execution is guaranteed. One exception occurs in a Season 14 episode. The perp doesn't get shot, but one of the detectives does. This trope was lampshaded in one episode where the detectives' investigation crossed paths with a long-running investigation of the same person in New Jersey. In the ensuing Jurisdiction Friction, the DA in New Jersey decided he was fine with McCoy prosecuting the suspect, but demanded that his people get to do the Perp Walk since he wanted the publicity for his re-election campaign. |

The Professionals At the end of "Everest Was Also Conquered", Bodie and Doyle make a point of dragging a Corrupt Corporate Executive in handcuffs through a party being held by his favourite granddaughter. He'd hired a hitman who killed several people including a fellow CI5 agent, so they were not inclined to be merciful. In "Need To Know", Bodie and Doyle are ordered to bring in their boss George Cowley for questioning. Afterwards Cowley berates them for not putting him in handcuffs as per procedure, but adds: "I appreciate it, though." |

In one of the many Scooby-Doo crossovers with Batman, the Gang and the Dynamic Duo has the Joker and Penguin captured and arrested. Batman tells the officers there to take the two away. The two officers lead the criminals away side by side before Batman stops them and tells them he meant the other way, going to this trope. | |

In Life On Mars, when Gene Hunt and Sam Tyler are arresting a prominent gangster in his nightclub, Gene asks whether he would like to be escorted out the front, in full view of the patrons of his club, or discretely through the back exit. The gangster chooses the back exit. So naturally, Gene and Sam take him out the front. | |

The Wire: Invoked by Valchek at the end of Season 2, as the whole purpose of the case for him is to ruin his rival Frank Sobotka. While the rest of the suspects are taken in a carefully synchronized dawn raid, the ones tasked to take Sobotka are told to wait until he's at the union office, and once they've gone in they wait until a suitably sizeable press gang has assembled before Valchek personally walks him out to the car. Discussed by the Baltimore Sun staff in Season 5, after they miss Clay Davis' perp walk. |

Veronica Mars: This rarely involves an actual arrest, but the jerk of the week usually gets some kind of public shaming... that occasionally involves getting taped to a flagpole. There is episode where Veronica herself is arrested by the sheriff in front of the school. "Gosh, I hope they use that photo in the yearbook" indeed. |

Both Cold Case and Without a Trace often feature the Perp Walk interlaced with a "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue with each person involved in the case. Memorably subverted in the Cold Case episode "Mind Hunters". The perp gets away, and he gets a slow-mo walk as he triumphantly walks out of the precinct. |
