It was a 16 year old NSF cheque, I didn't write,my ex did, but joint account. I was questioned, no rights were read to me.

no I'm not an idiot..why would you say that! I just wanted to know what the rules where.Actually the US Superior Court was very fair. They dismissed the case. That was good enough for me.

As a Canadian...I take issue with the person in the answers who said American's are dumb. You don't have a clue!

I believe that once in the custody of the US immigration, depending on your status, you should have rights. INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) is not famous for making sure the people they arrest are 'comfortable'. They are really acountable to no one if you are not legally entitiled to be in the country, i.e. do not have legal residence status. In the current atmosphere of war and legal hot potatoes like the patriot act, this is a lousy time to be taken into custody by US immigration.

It depends. Cops often dont question the person if it is on a warrant and therefore do not need to read them their rights. Later at some point if they are questioned, then they would have their rights explained to them

you are an idiot, what are they going to do. if you play hardball and insist on a trial and they are foolish enough to take it to trial do you actually think the prosecution is going to call the state trooper to the stand. what's he gonna say? the defendant stated "I didn't do it" i thought the rule in Canada is to engage the brain before running the mouth you are as dumb as americans

Everybody (except, apparently enemy combatants and Canadians who are suspected of being Muslim) who is within the USA is enttield to Constitutional rights. Every American is entitled to them worldwide.
See the Anderson case, below. But it probably doesn't fit your facts.

I don't know if they have to since you are not an American citizen. You are not afforded the same rights.
