Few things in life make me as happy as seeing a perp walk. Police in most cities do this to give photo opportunities to the local press. A good perp walk serves a variety of functions, not the least of which is police PR.
There is the old time shame factor involved in most perp walks too. When police force someone to do something so obvious and public, it has to be destined to bring a sane person to a feeling of shame, which just amps up the value of the perp walk.
Here we have a reality TV star being busted for selling pharmaceuticals in mass quantities. Anyone who was smart enough to see the massive potential for profits selling these sorts of painkillers, should have been wise enough to know that selling mass quantities of pain medications would get someones attention.
Anyway, this is a perfect perp walk. Great angles, some clever shots using reflection in windows, police giving a variety of angles for shots. Finally, the arrest reality TV guy does not look happy at all, which is really the money shot in these sorts of things. A perfect ballet in any form.
