They're obliged to, but do they actually?

This guy asked for a "lawyer dog", which apparently is not a thing.

Or will asking for a lawyer work for me, since I'm not ethnically diverse?

For another take on the “lawyer dog” case, see here[0].

The takeaway is that if you’re asking for a lawyer to be present during questioning, you need to be unequivocal about it.

That, and Lawyer Dog is totally a real thing[1].
