Is it possible to create a speed dial or hotline number in city phone book of all phones, for lawyers or "legal-aid". At the moment Lawyer RP is a bit limited, especially for OPP side.
People ask for lawyers in the lock-up all the time during arrests but never know any lawyers numbers, so the cops just move one and it's lost RP. A legal-aid service could add to arrest RP and not just have cops fining and jailing people.
All Lawyer roles could receive a text from the hotline that a detainee messages. OPP could attend to receive a brief from PD and confirm there's enough evidence to charge, if not release detainee. OLD could provide advice to crim (on a set pay scale, $1k/5 mins to avoid time wasters?). This could allows cops to do arrest interviews? If there is a magistrate on it could go even further with arrest-in-custody court.
The whole process can count as time served off the crims sentence if jailed.
So if a crim commits a crime spree and would normally get 45 months. It could involve RP for most of it, rather than rotting in jail.
Example scenario.
Arrest 2000hrs - Crim + PD
Lock-up 2005hrs (time served 5 months) - Crim + PD
Legal advice 2015hrs. (time served 15 months) - Crim + PD + Lawyers
Court 2020-2040hrs. (time served 40 months) - Crim + PD + Lawyers + Magistrate
Jail time remaining - 5 Months. - Crim + Regrets.
