I always thought the Miranda thing was kind of Jewey, even back when Dirty Harry was mocking it.
It's a good thing. In researching cases you'd be surprised how many criminals get off on Miranda technicalities.
I always thought one had to be 'Arrested, Detained or otherwise prevented from leaving' before Miranda rights apply if Law Enforcement was wanting to question you.
Doesn't apply for a consensual conversation before arrest or non-detainment.
Never talk to the Police, they ae not your friends.
Only ask them questions instead - 'Did you get bullied at school. To the best of your knowledge, Is your wife sleeping with your partner. How many administrative issues have been filed against you. Where have you been today. Have you been drinking. Do you have anything on you i should know about'.
It sounds like the case was stating that you can't sue the officer for not reading the rights.
I think you CAN still strike the non-miranda interviews from evidence in your case, so the cop still has to do it, in order for it to be admissible into evidence.
People may not always recognize when they are in a situation where they may want to exercise their right to silence. If they are given a Miranda warning, it becomes pretty clear that they are in such a situation.
Yes I forgot that most criminals are idiots.
