Second, what are the obligations of residents living under surveillance?
According to Article 57 of the Criminal Procedure Law, a person under residential surveillance shall abide by the following provisions during his residential surveillance:
1. Do not leave the residence without the approval of the executive organ. Without a fixed residence, you may not leave the designated residence without approval. The so-called "domicile" refers to the legal domicile of the criminal suspect or defendant in the city or county where the case-handling organ is located. The so-called "residence" refers to the residence designated by the case-handling organ to the monitored resident in the city or county where the case-handling organ is located according to the circumstances of the case. If the person under residential surveillance has justified reasons to leave his residence or designated residence, it must be approved by the public security organ. If the people's court or people's procuratorate decides to monitor residence, the public security organ shall obtain the consent of the decision-making organ before making a decision on approval. The so-called legitimate cause means that the person under surveillance has legitimate reasons such as medical treatment and funeral treatment. Public security and judicial organs shall not set up special residential surveillance places, and shall not detain criminal suspects in disguised form. Detention centers, administrative detention centers, detention rooms and other places may not perform residential surveillance.
2. Without the approval of the executive organ, you may not meet others. Other people here refer to family members living with the person under surveillance, as well as people other than lawyers hired. If a person living under surveillance wants to meet others, he must be approved by the executive organ before meeting.
3. Arrive in time for arraignment.
Don't interfere with the witness's testimony in any form.
5. Do not destroy, forge evidence or collude. When the public security organ carries out residential surveillance, it finds that the criminal suspect or defendant under residential surveillance violates the above provisions, and if the circumstances are serious, it will be arrested; If the circumstances are minor, they may be admonished and ordered to make a statement of repentance. If the people's procuratorate or the people's court decides to monitor residence, it shall also promptly report to the people's court or the people's procuratorate that made the decision to monitor residence.
Conclusion: Of course, you can hire a lawyer during the period of designated residential surveillance. During this period, lawyers can meet with criminal suspects, understand the specific situation of criminals, and give lawyers legal advice in light of the actual situation, so as to strive for leniency.
