Michael Devin Floyd v. Deputy Gino Cofferati, et al.
I was arrested around 9:30 PM on August 18, 2021. I informed Defendant officers Deputy Daniel Dickson #11036 and Deputy Sheriff Detective Matthew Newton #2212 that I had not yet received a phone call at 3:30 PM on August 19, 2021. 1 was finally allowed a phone call after 8:00 AM on August 20, 2021. Can the Defendant officers Dickson and Newton 's 16-18 hour procrastination of allowing me a phone call be not regarded as violating constitutional due process and California Penal Code 851.5, especially when Officer Cofferati issued previous threats of pretrial punishment?
Whether a 16-18 hour delay in providing an arrested person access to a phone call violates constitutional due process rights and California Penal Code 851.5, particularly when preceded by officer threats of pretrial punishment
