huh, denying someone legal counsel after their arrest. that's a neat way of the VPD to say "please sue us". And with the activist lawyers around, you can be sure that someone will take the case pro-bono since the payoff will be more than adequate.
"sorry, it's christmas eve, we don't have a lawyer for you" isn't a legitimate defense.
Yes, its the same in the mental health system. No Legal Aid until Jan 4 so you cant contest your detainment unless you find a lawyer open over the holidays in the limited access time you have on the phone. Authoritarian nonsense.
