For your enjoyment. http://edition.cnn.com/2003/LAW/05/27/scotus.miranda.questioning/index.html http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/cgi-bin/getcase.pl?court=US&navby=case&vol=000&invol=01-1444 CNN writeup seems to suggest that police no longer need to inform you of your rights (Miranda) and warn you against self incrimination. While the justices state this ruling does not condone law enforcement abuses to force your to incriminate yourself, we all know how easily abuse is covered up or just blatantly ignored. "But justices also concluded the suspect may be able to collect damages because his due process rights were violated during a hospital room interrogation. That part of the ruling was sent back to a lower federal court for further consideration." Does this even need to get reported, we all know how the lower court will rule, no damages. It seems the government finally feels it no longer needs to at least keep up the pretense of a fair and civil society. -Peter STANDARD DISCLAIMER: This is solely the personnel opinion of Peter Thoenen and in no way condoned by Sprint or the US Government.
