If i want to talk to an attorney, whenever that may be, and someone has the power to deny that request to me, its the exact same thing.
I cant think of another scenario in existance where if you wanted to talk to someone with expertise in an area, that anyone could deny that to you on any grounds.
The whole thing smacks of a blanket of protection for police should they use force or coercion in trying to gain a confession. I cant think of one other reason why this law would exist.
