Detective Lieutenant Columbo (when people ask his first name, he tells them it’s Lieutenant) is from a tv show where he’s a little gremlin man who gets on people’s nerves and arrests a member of the bourgeoisie in almost every single episode. He refuses to carry a gun, and I can’t even remember a single time where we see him in a police department or doing cop stuff. He just solves crimes and then goes home to his invisible wife.
Yeah nearly every crime Columbo solves is some upper strata Los Angeles freak who killed someone using a diamond covered pool stick. Also Columbo likes chili and he may or may not have a glass eye. In one episode he caught Leonard Nimoy being an evil doctor.
However, as a negative, it’s shown in several episodes that Columbo speaks fluent Italian and I can’t forgive that

Don’t be an ass Jim, not only you deserve some fun
Real life almost never actually solve crimes so I think that counts as enough of an abstraction that he’s a good guy.
