Shouldn’t it be the default and not require the suspect/subject to actually ask for one? Has there ever been any attempt to make that the norm in any countries? I think the only question should be “do you have your own lawyer you like to use, or are you happy enough with the court-appointed one?”
I’m not even sure opting out should be allowed, but I’m open to hearing reasons why that would be a bad system, or indeed a worse system than the one most countries seem to have now. So many miscarriages of justice could have been easily avoided.
Because the purpose of law enforcement is oppression.
That’s actually a delusion but ok lol. I guess the solution to being robbed/murdered/kidnapped/raped is not to call any sort of LEO and just to "‘talk it out’ I’m talking about mainly if LEO is heavily reformed in the US. You cannot deny that there always will be those with the most disgusting desires, and unless they are stopped, we are no better as enablers. I always have and always will agree with the basic fact that there must be rules, and that all should be held to account under them. I can’t fathom the people who think society can function with no rules. It just doesn’t work. If you want to try this, feel free to. Visit your local under-policed type area where the law is more of a suggestion. I used to live there. It’s pretty much always hell come to earth.
Go watch more Dick Wolf shit and have some ketchup with that well done leather
