- onraglanroad 4mo agoThat's the bit that sounds odd. Surely they can't just claim you're not a suspect yet and therefore deny you a lawyer?

IIUC, In a non-custodial situation, they are not required to provide the Miranda Warning[0]. However, the rights mentioned in that warning exist and are in force regardless of your status (custodial/non-custodial). One may invoke them at any time. I recommend doing so loudly if you're within two or three meters of law enforcement. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miranda_warning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miranda_warning
- AnimalMuppet 4mo agoDeny me one? No. (I mean, they may try...) What I meant, though, is that if I'm not a suspect, they don't have to provide me a lawyer. (At least, I'm moderately sure that's the law.)
