Line 28:
* Happens in the beginning of ''[[Red Corner]]'', starring Richard Gere. Also, the whole plot of this movie is based on this trope.
* This is how ''[[Dark City]]'' starts.
* In the [[Humphrey Bogart]] film ''[[In a Lonely Place]]'', Bogart's character invites a woman to his apartment to summarize a book for him. Shortly after she leaves, she is found murdered, and he becomes the prime suspect. Despite what the woman and the police initially assume, [[Is That What They're Calling It Now?|"summarizing a book"]] is really all that happens between them.

Line 44:
* A non-cop example: the entire plot of the [[BBC 1]] five-part drama ''[[Criminal Justice]]''.
* Harmony on ''[[Angel]]'' woke up with a man drained of all blood after Angel instituted a zero-tolerance policy on drinking human blood. Her attempts to clear her name were..somewhat inept.
* Played for laughs in an episode of ''[[Reno 911!]]''. The male members of the squad find Garcia in bed with a dead woman. Everybody starts to panic, then Dangle starts ordering the others to clean up the room, using bleach to eliminate forensic evidence and preparing to load up the body. Finally the woman pops up, and everyone yells "Surprise!" It turns out to be a surprise birthday party and cruel prank all in one.
* Happens in ''[[Stargate SG-1]]''. Cameron Mitchell is framed for the murder for an alien scientist, including memory implantation so that even he thinks he did it. {{spoiler|It was actually another guy, but after implanting the memory into Mitchell he erased the memory in his own head, thus they can't prosecute him because he doesn't remember it.}}
* A lot of episodes of the ''Law and Order''s use this.
