Hollywood often relies on tropes and clichés to quickly convey some piece of information they want to the audience. But sometimes those clichés become so ubiquitous that people actually think that they apply to the real world.
A lot of them can be seen in cop shows, like how you have the right to one phone call (it's more complicated than that and varies from state to state), if you don't read the perp their Miranda rights they walk (all that would do is invalidate any confessions they might have made), an undercover cop has to tell you that they're a cop if asked (although this one seems to have died out), and the CSI can quickly prove anything with DNA evidence. Because cop shows keep using these tropes, it paints an unrealistic picture of how the system of law and order operates to many viewers who just take it as fact.
What other tropes/clichés have you seen people in the real world think are real?
Yeah, this is really ridiculous. Give me a shell access with full read permissions to all FBI, NSA, CIA, NBA and NFL mainframes and I'll at best be able to browse the folder structure a bit.

Friend was sent to South Africa on a business trip. He was told he should keep his bag with laptop on the door side while in a car, just in case.
