The officer is required to read you Miranda Rights if you are under arrest.
Really? That's new to me.
I've arrested a hundred people I probably didn't read Miranda to.
I'm on patrol, I see a guy chugging a beer and walking down the street.
I snap a quick piccy with my digicam. Then I arrest him, and take him to jail.
I really don't give a flip what he has to say. I have ample evidence against him without an interview.
I book him and go catch another.
Miranda only applies if they are detained (not free to leave) AND being asked questions.
Countless crimes don't require Miranda. Driving on a suspended license, for instance. I take the driver to jail and staple a copy of his driving record (showing the suspension) to my report.
No questions, no Miranda.
On view alcohol and drug violations. Warrants... No Miranda.
I've heard rumors that Miranda may go away some day. There have been compelling arguments that Miranda is common knowledge to everyone, therefore it need not be repeated. Frankly, I've never been hindered by Miranda.
IF a driver is swerving, reeks of booze, and can't stand outside his car without swaying, then he's impaired and I'll arrest him for DUI, regardless of whether he consents to do FSTs, provide blood or breath samples, or tell me how much he's had to drink.
With an expensive enough attorney, even OJ Simpson ca slip criminal charges.
My job is to get the sucker off the road before he hurts an innocent. I've never been barricaded by lack of consent or Miranda.
Many people love to clown a cop. Cops deal with these tests every shift. Most cops don't get clowned the same way twice. Got something Smokie ain't seen? How original is your plan?
I've found dope hidden behind a colostomy bag.
Who can beat that?
I wonder if cops have their own tricks to get a search, or consent? How many of those tricks has the average person seen?
