My friend was arrested by the police. What should I do?

If relatives and friends are arrested by the police for illegal crimes, everyone must be very anxious. At this time, we should face it calmly and correctly and take appropriate measures to prevent the expansion of adverse consequences. If it is a general illegal act, the police will ask the parties to contact relatives and friends to help properly handle related issues. If you are suspected of committing a crime, you will be in trouble. The police often lock people up first, leaving the relatives of suspects at a loss. Today, we will focus on the latter:

First, after someone is arrested by the police for a suspected crime, relatives and friends should quickly go to the public security case-handling organ to understand the case. Some minor criminal cases, such as intentional injury, trouble-making, drunk driving, etc., all involve compensation for the victims. The police are also willing to introduce the case and coordinate compensation matters, which can effectively alleviate social contradictions. At this time, if a criminal settlement can be reached with the victim, you can try not to file a case or get a bail pending trial.

Two, if the suspect has been detained, relatives and friends should also go to the crime scene as soon as possible to understand the case. If the police don't cooperate, they can entrust a lawyer to go. After mastering the real case, if you compensate the compensation, return the stolen goods and strive for the initiative. At this point, things are more difficult than before detention.

3. After knowing the charge and place of detention, relatives and friends can send some clothes and pocket money to the detention center. Although I can't meet the detainees at this time, I can tell the detainees in this way that my family has realized this and is actively trying to find a way. You can stay inside honestly!

Fourth, the next step is to meet with a lawyer. Because relatives and friends can't meet detainees, only lawyers are qualified. At this time, only lawyers can meet, and it can cost less to entrust by stages. Know the real case after the meeting, and then decide whether to entrust a lawyer or entrust it in stages. During the meeting, lawyers should know the detainees' preliminary opinions on the case and whether they were tortured to extract confessions. Remember, don't try to get lawyers to deliver illegal content, or you will face charges of interfering with the judicial order.

5. The maximum period of criminal detention is 37 days. Those who are not released or released on bail during this period will be arrested. After the investigation, the public security organ will transfer the case to the procuratorate, and the procuratorate will decide whether to bring a lawsuit directly to the court after examination. At the stage of examination and prosecution, the entrusted lawyer may apply for marking papers to see whether the evidence used to accuse the guilty is true, sufficient and legal. At this time, the role of lawyers is also great. If the accusation is found to be inaccurate and the evidence is illegal, a legal opinion can be issued to the procuratorial organ to actively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the detainees.

Sixth, the next step of the case will be to the court to see how the court decides. If the case is serious and controversial and there is room for lighter or mitigated punishment, it is better to hire a lawyer as soon as possible. If only a small criminal case is sentenced to one or two years, it is ok to let the detainees plead guilty and fight for it themselves when the suspect's family is not rich!
