Dexter and Burn Notice (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=17239567&postcount=4). Both take place in Miami. The raging incompetence of the Miami Metro police which can be observed in "Dexter" actually makes it seem plausible that they never take the slightest notice of the many explosions and heists on "Burn Notice," not to mention Michael/Fiona's apparently endless supply of illegal ordinance.
Burn Notice (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=17240846&postcount=7) can also either exist in a future of 1980s Miami Vice or in the "present" of the terrible Michael Mann film of the same name. This is because the people of Miami have no major issues with their streets being turned into a domestic battleground in any of the series or in the film.
The same could also be true of Burn Notice and the Bad Boys film franchise. Again, the people of the Miami-Dade metro area are so inured to car chases and roving gun battles that these are no longer seen as being major incidents.
