Ya know, it would be nice if every time a cop had any contact with a suspected criminal (after they are detained or before any qwuestions are asked) everyone got a freee lawyer on the spot. Something has to be done to keep these cops in check and stop them from constantly threatening with the color of law and getting away with it.
@freemo What if you had lawyers ride along in every cop car? Or force every cop to pass the bar exam every 5 or 10 years?
@realcaseyrollins That was my first thought. My fear would be if they ride around together they will form a friendship and therefore be biased to not defend the clients to the best of their abilities.
@freemo Oh, well I was thinking you’d just put a lawyer in the car to save the time and trouble. Easy money for the lawyer if nothing happens, but makes for quicker arrests if something does happen.
@realcaseyrollins It would be trickier to do it right but yea that could work if there is care taken to make sure the pool is big enough
@freemo What if you didn’t pair them with cops though, and assigned the lawyers to cop cars in a randomized way?
@realcaseyrollins so the lawyer would change everyday? That could work but the pool would have to be pretty large to not allow a lot of repeats that serves the same problem. Afterall we already see whole police departments where cops will cheat to protect another cop who isnt their partner
@realcaseyrollins
In some areas I lived cops ride alone but there are rtules they need a second cop present to make a stop. So they would stop you then wait for a second cop to arrive before continuing. It would be like that but a lawyer instead of a cop as the backup
