Can I visit the drunk driving detention?

Legal analysis: There are generally two kinds of ordinary detention, public security detention and procedural detention. Maximum duration of public security detention 15 days. People usually want to visit. However, during the period of criminal detention, the public security organ shall isolate the investigation according to law. Therefore, people who are criminally detained for drunk driving are not allowed to visit before the court announces the judgment. According to the law, a criminal suspect has the right to entrust a defender from the day when he is interrogated for the first time by the investigation organ or when compulsory measures are taken.

Legal basis: Article 39 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC): Defence lawyers can meet and correspond with criminal suspects and defendants in custody. Other defenders, with the permission of the people's courts and people's procuratorates, may also meet and correspond with criminal suspects and defendants in custody. If a defense lawyer holds a lawyer's practice certificate, a law firm's certificate, a power of attorney or a letter of legal aid to ask for a meeting with the criminal suspect or defendant in custody, the detention center shall arrange the meeting in time, which shall not exceed 48 hours at the latest. In criminal cases endangering national security and terrorist activities, defense lawyers should obtain permission from the investigation organ when meeting with the criminal suspect in custody during the investigation. The investigation organ shall notify the detention center of the above situation in advance. When a defense lawyer meets a criminal suspect or defendant in custody, he can understand the case and provide legal advice. From the date when the case is transferred for examination and prosecution, the relevant evidence may be verified with the criminal suspect or defendant. Defense lawyers are not monitored when meeting with criminal suspects and defendants. The provisions of the first, third and fourth paragraphs shall apply to the meetings and correspondence between defense lawyers and criminal suspects and defendants who are under surveillance.
