Do lawyers/attorneys really have a bad relationship with police?

On shows like CSI and Law and Order, the police and lawyers seem to not get along with other very well, with client harassment and what have you. Does this really happen? I would have thought they would cooperate given that they are both trying to catch the true criminals.
Answers:
No, please don't believe everything you see on TV
Yes and no depends on the state or city.
I guess it depends which side of the case the lawyer is on. Prosecuting attorneys in all likelihood have a much better relationship with police than do defense attorneys who are constantly trying to tear them down. They claim its their job.
adversarial.
