During criminal detention, detainees are generally not allowed to use mobile phones, but there may be exceptions in specific circumstances.
The following is explained in detail:
1. Restrictions on the use of mobile phones during criminal detention
Legal Provisions: In most countries, detainees are generally not allowed to use their mobile phones during criminal detention. This is to ensure the smooth conduct of the investigation and to prevent the detainees from colluding with the outside world and interfering with the collection of evidence.
Prevent communication: The ban on the use of mobile phones is to prevent detainees from having inappropriate contact with the outside world. This includes communicating with suspects, witnesses, lawyers, or other relevant persons to avoid interfering with the investigation.
2. Use under special circumstances
Correspondence with lawyers: In some cases, regulators may allow detainees to use mobile phones to communicate with lawyers. This is to ensure that detainees have access to legal aid and that their legitimate rights and interests are safeguarded.
Correspondence with family members: In some cases, detainees may need to use mobile phones to communicate with their families. This is usually done to ensure that the family is aware of the detainee's situation and to ensure continuity of family contacts.
regulations from regulatory bodies: Whether mobile phones are allowed or not, depending on the regulations of the regulator. In some places, detainees may be allowed to use their phones under specific conditions, but there are usually strict regulations and restrictions.
3. Other precautions
Confidentiality: Even when the use of mobile phones is allowed, detainees should be careful about confidentiality. They should not divulge any information that could affect the investigation, nor should they discuss the details of the case with others.
Technical monitoringIf regulators allow the use of mobile phones, they may monitor calls and messages. This means that detainees should be mindful of their words and actions when using their mobile phones and avoid getting involved in anything that could affect the investigation.
