I hope you read the article about the landmark case of Miranda v. Arizona in the previous post. To say this is one of the most important cases in American criminal law is a massive understatement. It set the extremely important legal principle that a person does not have to talk to the police, to any legal authority, if he does not want to.
Remember one of the previous posts in this thread from my friend Mark Bennett. He explains clearly that so many people are in jail because they spoke to the police. Because they wanted to tell their stories. Because they believed that once the police heard their stories, everything would be fine. They would understand. This is all a big misunderstanding and once the police hear my story, hear what really happened, everything will be fine. I don't need an attorney. I don't need to talk to an attorney. I can talk to the police (read: local police, FBI, IRS, CIA whatever) and we will iron this all out.
Suckers.
DON'T GIVE UP THIS RIGHT THAT WAS FOUGHT FOR BY SO MANY PEOPLE. Criminal defense attorneys put in thousands of hours of work to define this right. The Supreme Court of the United States of America deliberated and brought this right into law. The Miranda case went through massive litigation before it even reached the Supreme Court.
Don't let it all go to waste. Use this right. We are lucky enough to have this right here in the United States, but like all rights, it did not happen overnight or in a vacuum.
