Because the agency has no power to confront, the crime may be classified as a crime, and the crime may be classified as a serious crime. During the investigation During the process, illegal situations such as extorting confessions through interrogation may also occur. These require the intervention of lawyers and the defense of lawyers. It cannot simply be understood that criminals do not need to defend themselves. Legal purpose:

The following people can be entrusted as defenders: (1) Lawyers; (2) People recommended by people's organizations or the unit where the criminal suspect or defendant works; (3) Guardians, relatives and friends of the criminal suspect or defendant.
