The Showdown and Shootout in Boston

Guess what, it's actually legal to be arrested without being read your miranda rights. The catch is, if you're not read your rights, and you talk to the police at the time of arrest, that information is not admissible in court.

 

 

In most arrests, Miranda is not read. It is not necessary because there is no questioning needed. Hollywood likes to make it seem like police whip out a card and start reading Miranda as soon as the cuffs go on, but this is just not reality. If questioning needs to be done, then Miranda is read and most of time given to the person in writing, at which time they either sign the waiver or they don't. Miranda rights only apply if you are in custody AND being questioned. Miranda is not a given right upon arrest, but rather a protection after arrest and before questioning.

Wrong, you have the right to not incriminate yourself. It's an inalienable right. The reading is simply to assure the average idiot knows it before he harms himself. The courts put this in effect when they realized idiots were being taken advantage of.

Russia says they contacted the FBI in March 2011 about the older brother being a terrorist and then the CIA a few months later. The thing that really pisses me off is the fact our government ignored the warnings and then turned around giving the fucksticks welfare so in essence, the taxpayers funded their efforts to kill Americans.
