A lot were just "animal attacks. If you ask a detective about a case he is working, a nice one will say "no comment", a grumpy one will say "f off" and probably alert the other detectives about you. I can see working cold cases, where the material is not still being investigated, but not fresh ones. Working with Monroe and Rosalee could have happened, more wessen would have to been killed since most citizens do not make arrests after arrests==cops would start to be suspicious why Nick was finding all these clues.
But, you are insinuating, the Nick character would have approached the same episodes as he would as a cop, when, lets say, he was flipping burgers at Micky D's. I am sure the whole re-write would be reflected completely differently in every episodes on how he was exposed to the WOW Wesen.
How can you expect Nick to have a different profession, yet insert him in the same situational episodes as if he was a detective. Obviously, the re-write would include a lot more than just a job change. Most likely, we would have had completely different episode approach, yet still related to the Grimm Brothers books.
You could sill have the Rat King, Deadly Frog, Black Widow Spider, Cinderella etc... themed episodes. Obviously, his exposure to that Wesen would not follow the "Detective" approach but a different way he got involved or completely episode re-writes.
You know you are OLD, when you see the Slide Ruler you used in college selling in an ANTIQUE SHOP!!
