I also find it disturbing how much a court will tolerate bad faith lawyering. There are a lot of “famous” lawyers who are popular for courtroom antics rather than appropriate interpretation and application of the law for their client.
There is a mod for GTA that allows players to play as officers dedicated to stopping crime. Aside from LSPD First Response, there are a number of online communities with police following strict rules meant to mimic real police. Sure you can abuse your prisoner, tase them more than once as punishment, but you would be amazed at how many resist this to be good cops.
I state all this to point out GTA is open world. As the article noted, it highlights issues in our society, not create them. So even if the game was protected, banning it would have no impact. The game allows players to entertain bad behavior, not create it. And where it could possibly create, the blame is on parents that allow kids to play GTA.
