* ''Series/LukeCage2016'': After Mariah Dillard kills Cottonmouth in the heat of a fight, she and Shades pay off Candace Miller to provide a false story to the police implicating Luke Cage in the crime. The two of them also make sure to send in [[AmoralAttorney Ben Donovan]], a crooked attorney in Wilson Fisk's pocket and who bailed Cottonmouth out of custody a few episodes earlier, to make sure that Candace doesn't deviate from the cover story when Misty Knight interrogates her. The first words out of Donovan's mouth when he enters the room mid-interrogation are "Don't say another word, Miss Miller. I'm representing you now," and, since she's not under arrest, he insists that she not answer any questions and walk out.

* Averted in an episode of ''Series/TheWire'' (which is more realistic than most series when it comes to the bureaucratic hurdles the police have to deal with). Bunk and [=McNulty=] trick D'Angelo Barksdale into writing a letter of condolence to the family of a murdered man (hoping he'll include some incriminating information) as they wait for his AmoralAttorney to arrive. He gets there just in time, tells D'Angelo to stop writing immediately, and drags him out the door for a consultation.
