MURDERING THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE

In watching true crime series I am struck constantly by how illiterate most law enforcement persons are. They almost never say the correct lying instead of laying as in, "the body was lying on the floor". And they constantly misuse the word that brands them as totally ignorant, "Drug". I cringe every time one of these supposedly competent persons says something like, "He drug the body into the field." There is no such usage. The term is dragged. I am surprised that the producers of these shows keep allowing these lawmen to be shown in such an unflattering light.
