A light in the darkness

Something that puzzles me: in police dramas on television, whenever the cops enter a dark building, especially the basement, they always walk in flashing their torches (flashlights for American readers) around in the darkness. Why don't they just switch the light on?

Couple reasons. The most important one in life is to preserve fingerprints left on the light switch.
And besides, where's the drama without darkness?
