Well, there is some truth to that, any adult US citizen should know their Miranda rights, but at the same time... STEREOTYPE ALERT ... This guys occupation and name might lead one to believe he wasn't a US citizen.
I say this because in Kentucky on the horse and Tobacco farms there are many migrant workers from south of the border who speak little English and know little to nothing about the US justice system. If the person they are talking to appears to fall in that category, then they need Miranda warnings, now, when the Police are smart enough to determine what a person knows about the US legal system just by looking at the person and asking their name, then they can start doing that. Until then they need to give the Miranda warning to everybody. > -----Original Message----- > From: Timothy Heald [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 2:10 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: RE: Lapd at its best -Miranda Warnings go byebye? > > There was also a decision a few years back that said officers don't have > to tell you your Miranda rights anymore, because everyone should know > them, they are implied. > > Combine these issues together and I see a system ripe for corruption and > civil rights abuses.
