Q: Can a police officer contact my me before court after my arrest and can he pass the evidence to pedestrians after found.
Also was made to urinate in public after I told officer it made me uncomfortable then he watched me pee after he’d already searched me but said it was to make sure I didn’t try to get rid of anything.
A:
Hi, I'm sure someone else will probably ask you to clarify your question, but let me first ask you to ask it more clearly please? IF I understand your question, you said that you were arrested? For what were you arrested? In a car? Park? While walking?
Second question: you're saying that the police officer made you publicly expose yourself in front of others and urinate?
Third question: you're saying that the police officer actually gave evidence that he got from you, to third parties, not related to the police?
Fourth question: you're asking if a police officer can contact you prior to your court appearance, after arresting you? The answer to this is simple: once you've been arrested, unless you invoke your rights to have an attorney present before answering any questions, yes he can contact you.
