Does the lawyer have the right to take surveillance?

Legal analysis: If it belongs to the evidence involved in the case, you can apply to the court for retrieval, and lawyers generally cannot directly retrieve it. Lawyers who undertake legal affairs have the right to collect evidence from relevant units and individuals. However, lawyers do not have coercive power. If the other party does not cooperate, lawyers can apply to the court or relevant judicial organs.

Legal basis: Article 41 of the Administrative Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China, if the plaintiff or a third party cannot collect the following evidence related to this case by itself, it may apply to the people's court for collection: (1) evidence kept by state organs and required by the people's court to be collected; (2) Evidence involving state secrets, commercial secrets and personal privacy; (3) Other evidence that cannot be collected by itself due to objective reasons.
