Why don't you let your family meet during detention?

During the period of criminal detention, family members are not allowed to meet the client, but can only entrust a lawyer to meet the client, understand the case, access the case file, obtain favorable evidence and provide legal help. Criminal detention must meet the following conditions at the same time: the object of detention is a flagrante delicto or a major suspect. An active criminal refers to a person who is committing a crime, and a major suspect refers to a person who has evidence to prove that he is suspected of a major crime. It has a legal emergency. Detention in criminal proceedings is a compulsory method for public security organs and people's procuratorates to temporarily deprive criminals or major suspects of their personal freedom in case of legal emergency during investigation. Criminal detention must meet two conditions at the same time: the object of detention is a flagrante delicto or a major suspect. It has a legal emergency. In principle, relatives are not allowed to visit during criminal detention, but defense lawyers can be entrusted to meet. Meeting the criminal suspect in the investigation stage is a legal right given to lawyers by law. After receiving the lawyer's meeting letter, the investigation organ shall arrange the meeting according to law. According to China's Criminal Procedure Law, if a defense lawyer requests to meet with a criminal suspect or defendant in custody with a lawyer's practice certificate, a law firm certificate, a power of attorney or a letter of legal aid, the detention center shall arrange the meeting in time, which shall not exceed 48 hours at the latest.
