Will you be detained after picking up the phone and calling the police?

Legal analysis: 1. Generally, the owner will not be detained after calling the police to pick up the mobile phone, but the premise is that it is really "picked up", not self-deception. In this case, it does not belong to the jurisdiction of the public security organs. But in reality, many people claim to have "found it". In fact, they are watching people lose their mobile phones and go up to cover them in an attempt to make the owner not notice. This is not really "found". There is evidence that this situation will be investigated for criminal responsibility for theft. If criminal compulsory measures such as criminal detention are taken, it is suggested to entrust professional criminal defense lawyers to intervene and carry out targeted and effective defense work in combination with specific cases and evidence, so as to strive for a lighter punishment.

2. Whether to detain depends on whether it constitutes a crime. Refusing to return the mobile phone is illegal, but it does not necessarily constitute a crime.

Whoever illegally takes forgetting things and buried objects of others for himself and refuses to hand them over in a large amount shall be punished in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph.

3. Picking up a mobile phone constitutes a crime, and the following conditions need to be met:

(1) reached the standard of large sum;

(2) Intention of illegal possession;

(3) The victim files a criminal private prosecution.
