Whenever the police arrest someone they have to bring them in front of a judge for a hearing on the arrest and other matters like bail conditions. The hearing must be in public and the judge must be independent and impartial. As these requirements cannot be met, this makes any arrest unlawful. The police cannot hold someone without being able to bring them in front of an independent and impartial judge at a public hearing.
