First, China has a clear stipulation in the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). According to Article 96 of the Law, a criminal suspect may hire a lawyer to provide him with legal advice, China's complaints and accusations after being interrogated for the first time by the investigation organ or from the date when compulsory measures are taken. If the suspect is arrested, the lawyer hired can apply for bail pending trial. In cases involving state secrets, the criminal suspect's employment of a lawyer shall be approved by the investigation organ. The entrusted lawyer has the right to know the charges charged by the criminal suspect from the investigation organ, to meet the criminal suspect in custody and to know the relevant information from the criminal suspect. When a lawyer meets a criminal suspect in custody, the investigation organ may send personnel to be present according to the circumstances and needs of the case. When a lawyer meets a criminal suspect in custody in a case involving state secrets, it shall be approved by the investigation organ.
It can be seen that when taking a transcript, the parties cannot ask the lawyer to be present.
Second, China unswervingly adheres to the rule of law. China is a country ruled by law. Since there are relevant regulations in front, we must resolutely perform our official duties in accordance with the requirements of the law. So, don't ask too much of the police.
Third, we must abide by the law and strictly enforce the law. As the people of China, we must know the law, obey the law, learn the law and use it. Relevant departments should constantly improve the law according to public opinion, so that there are laws to follow. Law enforcement departments should also resolutely enforce the law and severely punish offenders.
These are the points that can explain why lawyers can't be present when taking statements at the police station. Please leave a message in the comments section if you have any ideas!
