** This seems like a cop show genre convention more than anything else. OnlyBadGuysCallTheirLawyers. The good guys [[EmptyCopThreat can do anything to suspects]] short of physically assaulting them. Innocent suspects [[BeAsUnhelpfulAsPossible lie to or mislead]] the police for their own reasons in ways that send the investigation down false trails. It's not good police work or law, but it's necessary to have a lot of tense confrontations and still wrap things up in a single episode. I don't watch all that many cop shows, but two I'm familiar with are ''Series/{{Castle}}'' and ''Series/{{Broadchurch}}'', and [=iZombie=] seems no worse about this stuff than they are.

** It's mentioned in "Are You Ready For Some Zombies" that some unscrupulous sellers have been palming off "watered-down brain-tubes" at a high markup in Seattle's back alleys. This troper figures adding cheaper cow or pig brain matter to an ounce of primo human cortex may be the equivalent of cutting cocaine with baby powder--it significantly weakens the power and duration of a good high, and is very frowned upon in reputable circles.

* Well...it's not exactly as though irrational hatred against a subset of people who are perceived to be a threat (for whatever reason) to the "normal" majority has absolutely no basis in reality whatsoever. Zombies are something different, and to be quite blunt about it, "different" is often enough to spark hatred. Plus there's the rather unfortunate fact that zombies literally need to eat a steady supply of human brains to survive so naturally that's going to raise quite a few concerns for the non-zombified population... Bottom line, in the kind of scenario the show presents, Dolly Durkings and her ilk would be an inevitability.

** Another factor is , well what actions her mother take. She finds out that Liv is living with a condition that forces her to feed off human brains? [[MamaBear Mother mode takes over and she quarantines Liv, she contacts the CDC and every medical expert and virus expert in the world to find a cure. Taking every and any course to save her daughter.]] End result, if no cure found Liv spends the rest of her life in CDC quarantine. Then the military gets involved, super strong unkillable soldiers that can gain enemy intelligence by eating enemy soldiers? A Military and Covert Operations wet dream . Then a new arms race starts over zombie super soldiers. She tells her slacker brother, one wrong word. Mommy dearest finds out and all of the above happens.

*** They are more bullet proof then regular soldiers save a head shot. Heal faster, resistant to harm and able to absorb intel and skills from enemy combatants. In short easily made super soldiers.

** Adding, to everything above, there's really no good excuse she could give that wouldn't lead to her mother snooping and potentially finding out, so Liv not saying anything was probably one of the better options she had available.
