Police Detention Rights Violation

Summary

If police in Missouri hold you without making a lawyer available upon request, you may have grounds for a complaint based on unlawful detention, violation of your right to counsel, and violation of your right to remain silent. The presence of video footage depends on the specific police stations policies. Contact the police station directly or consult with a local attorney for further assistance.

I have a question about Missouri law regarding the police holding me without making a lawyer available upon multiple requests
Hello Derek, in Missouri:
- Upon arrest, you have the right to remain silent.
- You have the right to an attorney. If you can't afford one, one will be appointed for you.
- If you request a lawyer, police interrogation should stop until your lawyer is present.
If these rights were violated, you could have grounds for a complaint.
What grounds would that be
If your rights under the Miranda warnings were violated in Missouri, you may have grounds for a complaint based on:
- Unlawful detention
- Violation of your right to counsel
- Violation of your right to remain silent.
Do police stations have video footage to prove my right to counsel were violated
Derek, the presence of video footage depends on the specific police station's policies and capabilities. Do you know if the station involved in your situation has surveillance cameras?

I'm sorry, but as a free legal information service, I'm unable to search for specific records or surveillance footage. I suggest contacting the police station directly or consult with a local attorney for further assistance.
