How long can the FBI hold you before officially charging you and how long can they keep you from visitors?
My ex-boyfriend was shot by Feds during a delivery of a warrant. He is now paralyzed from the neck down. He had no weapon. He ran and they shot, they are under investigation for to much force. But he is in the hospital currently has been since they shot him April 14th,2007. They have not officially charged him yet.(drug charges). Cuz they don't want to pay his Hospital fees untill they half to cuz by now I'm sure it's half a million if not more. But he is only allowed two visitors for the last 4 months.Immidiate family. How long can this go on?
Answers:
This is not a patriot act issue. If I understand the situation correctly, the FBI was serving an arrest warrant and while serving that warrant, your boyfriend was shot. If your boyfriend was incapacitated before the warrant was actually served (before he was offically arrested) then the FBI has to wait until he regains legal capacity to serve him. Also, it sounds like your boyfriend is in a private hospital, therefore he is not in FBI custody even though he may have FBI agents guarding him.
Under the Patriot Act, they can hold him forever without charges, without a lawyer and without a trial. So much for the constitution, huh? Contact the ACLU. They may be able to help you.
Indefinitely, I beleive under the Patriot Act, they can hold him indefinitely and no they do not have to allow visitors. Visitors are a priveldge.
You should find a new boyfriend.
Your question makes no sense. But from what I can understand from your...writing, it looks like he's still under investigation so until the FBI says he can have visitors (only the doctors can say whether he can go or not), he has to wait.
You're not telling all of the story. Feds don't shot people for no reason. They don't want to go through all of the paper work in suspension until they can be justified for shooting. there's something you're not telling and you can't have an honest answer if you don't tell the truth.
