iac: Perp walks are *not* coordinated with the defendant beforehand. They’re a surprise to him. If they’d be coordinated he’d have been able to turn himself in to the DA’s office without an early morning surprise home raid scaring the living daylights out of his little children and spouse. The only ones not surprised are the TV cameramen who got advance notification of the address and time of the “surprise” arrest raid. It frequently occurs the prosecutor will tip off the press when he’s seeking the limelight as tough-on-crime as they walk him out in handcuffs in front of the press cameras — and his family and neighbors.
(“It cannot be said they…” should have read “It cannot be said that you’re innocent of bank robbery.”)
