According to him, the information was received from the public.<\/p>\n<p>He did refer to an incident last year where a &#8220;known drug dealer&#8221; in Walvis Bay was stopped and his vehicle searched. Crack cocaine was found and the suspect was arrested. The accused is out on bail &#8211; and allegedly telling people that his lawyer gave him this advice, according to Shilongo.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is regrettable to notice that such advice comes from a lawyer who is an expert in the field of law. This attitude is totally unethical in regard to lawyers&#8217; conduct,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>He warned that lawyers who &#8220;incite&#8221; a person not to stop when directed to do so by the police risks to be charged with hindering or obstructing the police in the execution of their duties; being an accomplice to an offence; and defeating the cause of justice.<\/p>\n<p>He said the matter will be reported to the Law Society of Namibia to be investigated, which may result in the prohibition of the lawyer from practising law in Namibia.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read the article:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201107010830.html\" title=\"Namibia: Erongo Police Troubled By Lawless Lawyer\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Namibia: Erongo Police Troubled By Lawless Lawyer<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Adam Hartman 30 June 2011 &#8220;WORRISOME information&#8221; about a lawyer in Erongo who is allegedly advising his clients not to stop when directed to do so at police roadblocks will be investigated, Erongo&#8217;s Police Chief, Commissioner Festus Shilongo, said on Wednesday. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-451744","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
