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.
they will try all sorts “interrogation tactics” to get you to confess without a lawyer. some are bordering or even enhanced “interrogation tactics”
Also the fact that they don’t give a fuck about your rights, just their numbers or their own form of personal punishment against you.
