Whenever I see this sort of thing on TV, where they call out the criminal from fairly far away, and then the criminal inevitably has all sorts of time to run, I always think, “There’s no way police actually do that. If they just walked up beside the person first, it would be much harder to run away.” But I don’t know. Maybe police do it in real life, too.

Yeah, it’s definitely a trope to make it obvious to the viewer what’s happening, and of course, to build up drama.
