More specifically, when do a person’s actions nullify their right to have legal representation in defending/denying those actions before a court of law.

When those actions take the situation out of the realm of domestic law and into the realm of war. We didn’t try to arrest the Japanese forces defending Iwo Jima. The situation had, shall we say, escalated beyond the reach of the relatively polite exercise of force that law enforcement has at its disposal.
