First of all, you should have a preliminary understanding of the situation with the public security organ or procuratorate handling the case to determine whether you have been arrested and whether the matter is serious.
Secondly, the criminal's family members have the right to know, and the criminal's family members have the right to know from the public security department why their relatives were arrested and where they were held. According to the law, summons and detention shall not exceed 12 hours, and criminal suspects shall not be detained in disguised form by summons or detention. I remind you that after detaining a person, the public security organ shall notify the detained person's family or the unit to which he belongs within 24 hours, except in cases that hinder investigation or cannot be notified.
Third, if a relative has been detained for dozens of days without any news, neither receiving a detention notice nor receiving a phone call from the public security department, Longhua criminal case lawyer reminds you that this situation is usually that the prisoner is arrested in a foreign country, and the public security detention notice is sent to the police station where the prisoner is registered, and the household registration police station cannot inform him because he cannot contact the prisoner's family. Under normal circumstances, the public security organs will not ignore the procedure of notifying the family members, so the family members of prisoners need not be too suspicious. In this case, the prisoner's family can contact the local police station directly by telephone to find out whether there is a detention notice, so as to know the place and reason of the prisoner's detention.
Finally, if the family members know where their relatives are detained or arrested, but they are very worried about the status of their relatives living in the detention center, whether they were tortured to extract confessions, whether they were bullied by prisoners living together, and so on. Longhua criminal case lawyer reminds you that the only way for family members is to hire a lawyer to meet the prisoners in the detention center. Because,
The Criminal Procedure Law clearly stipulates that in the investigation stage, only lawyers can meet criminals, understand the crimes involved by criminals and provide legal advice and help to criminals. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the investigation, family members are not allowed to visit prisoners before the court decides.
In fact, hiring a lawyer to meet prisoners at the detention center earlier can alleviate the tension and despair of prisoners, enhance their legal awareness of self-protection, and also help their families to know the real situation earlier and make good preparations for safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of prisoners.
