Why don't people ever have lawyers while being interrogated on TV? I know TV isn't always accurate, but is there a reason why there's never an attorney? (Except for in court)

Asked by Jacob over 11 years ago

TV and the movies rarely portray law enforcement (or anything else for that matter) in a realistic manner. Even the so-called reality shows are heavily edited to present what the network wants to show you.

As for their reasoning...well it all revolves around $$$. The better the story, the more viewers they get. More viewers = more advertising dollars. Everything on TV is about making money. That is the reason why "news" programs are sensationalistic rather than objective.

I know that the Secret Service and FBI have authority over local police when it comes to presidential security, but what about in general? Eg, if you are holding someone in jail, do they always have authority to make you hand them over to them?
