1. Will you inform your family if you are arrested by the police?
1. After a person is arrested by the public security organ for a criminal case, the public security organ will notify the family members of the person concerned.
2. As for the specific notification time, it depends on the situation.
According to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, after detaining a criminal suspect, the public security organ shall notify the family members of the detained person within 24 hours; If the notification of a crime suspected of endangering national security or terrorist activities may hinder the investigation, the family members of the detainee shall be notified after the situation that hinders the investigation disappears.
In addition, according to the procedure of handling criminal cases by public security organs, the longest time to detain a criminal suspect is 24 hours. So in this case, the notification time is 48 hours.
Procedures for handling criminal cases by public security organs
Article 74. According to the circumstances of the case, the public security organ may summon the criminal suspect who needs to be summoned, or the criminal suspect who fails to appear in the case without justifiable reasons after being summoned to the place designated by the city or county where he is located for interrogation.
Article 76. The time for summoning shall not exceed 12 hours. If the case is particularly serious and complicated and requires detention or arrest, the detention period shall not exceed 24 hours with the approval of the person in charge of the public security organ at or above the county level. A criminal suspect shall not be detained in disguised form by continuous summons.
Article 85 of the Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that when a public security organ detains a person, it must produce a detention permit.
After detention, the detained person shall be immediately sent to the detention center for custody, and shall not exceed twenty-four hours. Unless it is impossible to notify or the notification of suspected crimes endangering national security or terrorist activities may hinder the investigation, the family members of the detained person shall be notified within 24 hours after detention. After the circumstances that hinder the investigation disappear, the family members of the detained person shall be notified immediately.
Second, what should I do if my relatives and friends are arrested and detained?
First of all, don't panic when you hear or know that your relatives and friends are under criminal detention. First, try your best to find out what charges you are suspected of and which public security and procuratorial organs arrested you and put you in that detention center. As for how to know the charges and the place of detention, you can go to the investigation organ and ask the host police officer.
Secondly, if you know the basic situation or can't understand the relevant situation, hire a lawyer to intervene as soon as possible. Lawyers can help you understand the accused charges, go to the detention center to meet the detained relatives and friends, ask for confessions, and get to know the case as soon as possible. It is suggested that we should not sign the whole criminal agency contract with lawyers at this time, but only sign a lawyer meeting contract, so that after learning more, we can have a broader space to choose lawyers according to our own situation. Of course, you can also choose legal aid or hire your own lawyer according to your own conditions.
Thirdly, interview the lawyer after the meeting, and the lawyer will help you analyze whether the charges are established and what penalties will be imposed if they are established according to the case and your own practical experience. After patiently listening to the lawyer's analysis of crime, he will put forward his own ideas. At this time, he can generally judge whether the lawyer is professional, whether he can help himself, whether he can let his relatives and friends be released early, or get a bail pending trial, and the sentence is shorter, and then decide whether to sign a criminal agency contract or hire someone more capable. After that, lawyers should consult and copy the case files, meet with criminal suspects and defendants many times, investigate and collect evidence, appeal and accuse, and draft and issue lawyer's opinions or defense opinions. If you are not satisfied with the verdict, you should also help write an appeal and other work.
Many times when we say that we were arrested by the police, we actually mean that criminal compulsory measures were taken according to law, but this time does not mean that it must constitute a crime and criminal responsibility needs to be investigated. In addition, if there are illegal acts, in fact, the public security organs can also be detained according to the provisions of the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment, or they can be regarded as being arrested by the police.
