* ''[[Battlestar Galactica Classic (TV)|Battlestar Galactica]]'': In the original series episode ''Saga Of A Star World'', Starbuck and Apollo bluff a Cylon [[The Battlestar|Base Star]] into a severe tactical misstep by discussing over the radio whether or not they should bring ''all'' of their Viper squadrons with them to attack the ship (when in fact, they only have a single squadron at their disposal, and that squadron is already occupied providing cover to the evacuation of the Colonials from the surface of Carillon).
* In the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' episode "The Eleventh Hour", the first time the Doctor meets Amy Pond as an adult, she sneaks up on him, hits him with a cricket bat, handcuffs him to a radiator, then pretends to be radioing for backup while dressed as a policewoman.
* There's an episode of ''[[Time Trax]]'' where Darien gets captured by the villain of the week, and Selma makes it sound like the house is surrounded by the police.
* In an episode of ''[[Psych]]'', "Truer Lies," Shawn and a pathalogical liar do this, magnanimously accepting the terms of two bad guys' surrender because the police were just around the corner. It turns out they were telling the truth.
