Relevant legal and/or ethical issues - P5(c)

Ride along is an action comedy that is classified as 12 by the BBFC for the violence present and the bad language which can  be classified as offensive material.

There are several scenes where violence is present. The main character is often very rough when asking something from the suspects. There is a scene which includes a lot of shooting and explosions that can influence children in a bad way and encourage them to shoot guns. There is a hostage situation and details of how people are shot with bullets and all the blood coming out. Due to these various scenes the movie was rated 12 by the BBFC.

There might be some ethical concerns because most of the actors are african american and a stereotype could be seen by people. So a problem might occur if people get the wrong idead of something and stereotypes will form.

There are no copyright issues with the movie. Although the idea of a detective with his sidekick fighting crime is being used in this movie the script does not include any idead that cannot be used or have already have been used in a film. So the general idea was already used but this particular movies script does not appear in any other movies.
