HOW TO ACT DURING DETENTION? - kubov 300x300 1 Detention is the process by which you are forced to be near a police officer, or to be in a designated area or premises.
Quite often, during detention, law enforcement officers act with numerous violations of the law itself (its practical basis) and violating the rights of those detained, and as a result, as always, come out of the water, which in turn creates impunity.

 It is also not uncommon to see police detaining several people who were on holiday in a company where one of the detainees was actually involved in a crime, but you may be detained for identification to identify all participants. This detention can also cause discomfort, because as a result of such detention you as a citizen are deprived of the right to move freely, and must act on the instructions of detainees, and often the establishment of your identity can take hours, and even.

 How to act in such a situation so as not to be responsible for what you did not do:

 In case of detention, you have the right to a defense, for the implementation of which it is necessary to involve a lawyer, and this should not be neglected and delayed.

 During detention, law enforcement officers are obliged to:

  • explain the reasons for your detention;
  • immediately inform your relatives or other persons about your detention and whereabouts;
  • provide the opportunity to consult a lawyer and ensure its confidentiality;
  • notify the suspect or release you within 24 hours of detention.

 Your behavior during detention:

  • behave calmly;
  • do not resist during detention;
  • demand that a lawyer be present;
  • do not give any evidence or sign documents until the lawyer arrives;
  • demand that family members and relatives be notified of the detention and your whereabouts;
  • if possible, record the detention process.
