I work at a tobacco shop. And after they said I blown through a stop sign. When asked when drinking I said no. Then he said I smelled, and I quote, “of something suspicious”. I get cops get their paycheck for tickets and such but seriously has it really gotten this bad that for a ticket they try to make it something bigger? and ignoring my rights?
There was a supreme court ruling on this during Trump 1 I believe. They do not need to read rights any more.
I was wrong, Biden’s term, not that it matters. https://www.aclu.org/news/civil-liberties/supreme-court-rejects-promise-miranda-rights
This guy was denied his rights and was ruled against. Constitution be damned. It doesn’t change the golden rule of dealing with cops though: Do not engage in conversations with cops without a lawyer. They can ask you where you’re going and some general questions about what’s in your possession currently. Outside of this it is best to disengage and defer to your lawyer or public defender.
They have to read the Miranda Rights in order for the evidence to be admissible. This ruling removes the ability to sue the people who violated your constitutional rights. Because there is no fear of personal liability, entering inadmissible evidence into the court and using it for the trial has no safeguards other than the judge deciding to accept it or not.
I can’t believe I didn’t see this case, fuck the supreme court man.
