    "You have the right to an attorney"--but there may be no public defender to represent you if you can't afford a lawyer of your own; or the public defender may have aspirations to become a prosecutor, or otherwise not give a fuck; or, if they do, may be so overworked as to make no difference. And in some states, it's driving stops/tickets that fund the public defenders, so.
