I was detained by the LASD and asked to speak with a lawyer >20 times. They just kept coming back and trying different lines of questioning. They don't care about the law or your rights. It's all a big joke to them.


Were you able to follow-up on this clear mistreatment after you were released?


While I agree with you, how would you even prove it? Police are likely to just say "he/she never asked for a lawyer", it has been clear over the decades that they lie for their own interest.


As the other commenter pointed out there is really nothing you can do about it. It is your word vs theirs.

There is also the very real possibility of retaliation if I were to attempt to follow up with any sort of complaint process. This is a department that is notoriously infested with gangs. They have sent deputies to threaten a FBI agent, "lost" a FBI informant in their jails for weeks, etc.


Wow thanks, sounds like a lost cause indeed.
