How come nobody ever asks for an attorney?


Everybody knows you are better off with a defense attorney when you are guilty, or in a precarious position, or a veteran of the system. But repeatedly, the person being questioned by police refuses to ask for an attorney. Not realistic.

Plenty of people ask for attorneys. Have you ever even watched the show?

All the perps ask for an attorney. If they didn't there wouldn't be Law & Order.

You’d be surprised how many people talk in real life. They believe they can smart their way out of their situations, they believe the police when the police say that talking can do them good etc
