How important is a lawyer's opinion not to authorize an arrest?

Legal Analysis: Useful. However, if the defense lawyer wants to put forward an opinion not to approve the arrest, it should be after the public security officer submits an opinion to approve the arrest and before the procuratorate makes a decision on whether to approve the arrest.

Legal basis: "Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China"

Article 86 When reviewing and approving an arrest, the People's Procuratorate may question witnesses and other litigation participants and hear defenses Attorney's opinion. If the defense lawyer makes a request, the defense lawyer's opinion shall be heard.

Article 93: After a criminal suspect or defendant is arrested, the People's Procuratorate should still review the necessity of detention. For those who do not need to be detained further, it should be recommended to release or change the compulsory measures. Relevant agencies shall notify the People's Procuratorate of the handling situation within ten days.
