This is what we're talking about.

Gideon v. Wainwright, a 1963 decision guaranteeing criminal defendants the right to legal counsel. Three years later, the protections of Gideon grew even stronger thanks to the Warren Court's 1966 ruling in Miranda v. Arizona. The Miranda warning famously recited in countless police dramas includes elements of both Gideon v. Wainwright and Miranda v. Arizona, including, "If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you."

The Miranda requirement is already functionally useless. Don't ask me how I know this, but if the cops question you and then arrest you without notifying you of your rights, they just tell the judge, "Oh, that was just a field interview. We had no intention of arresting the suspect when it began." The Justice Machine just goes along with it.

Funny, I can't recall this being shown a single time in the movies or TV.

Am I being detained? Am I free to go? I don't answer questions without an attorney present.
