In most states it is illegal to leave a car running and walking away from them.

Law enforcement doesn't have to obey the law

Especially when they are on TV

Excellent point. The term in the Texas Transportation Code is "unattended". I do not know if there is a definition for that. You might have an argument that you did not leave your vehicle unattended if you didn't walk too far from it.

*edit* I found records of police ticketing people at airports for an unattended vehicle when getting out to load luggage for a passenger they are picking up. I would never think to turn off my vehicle when doing that. How about tow truck drivers that leave their vehicle running for power while they winch a vehicle? Guess I'll have to be more mindful of this going forward.
