i actually just got my door kicked down last week because some guy got into a fight with my husband and went and told police that we had a meth lab in our basement. it was a totally false accusation, however my husband and i were still forced to sit on the floor of our own house handcuffed for an hour while they tore our house apart and refused to fix our door. if you ask me, they need to be putting more restrictions on what they can and can't do to people, not making it easier for them to harrass us.

are you just saying thiss with out looking into why those rights exist in the first place.
1. you have the right to remain silent.....what's wrong there, cops aren't judges they wont get you off, why talk to them?
2. anything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law........this is so if a person confeses to a cop the can use it in a court of law becasue they had the full warning that it would. it basically advisieing the person to save it for court.
3. you have the right to a attorney.......should be people know this, i don't understand how a right to a lawyer is bad.
2. if you can not afford one, one will be appointed to you.......becasue if you don't have a attorney, they can just throw the case out becasue the law is just set up that way/
ect ect...so what the hell is wrong with that. it only warns people fair and square. and they where more written to convict criminals easier, after arrest criminals may be intoragted, if they give up info and aren't aware it will be used in court a lawyer could get the case droped. but if they tell them straight up, then there is no controversey when they present a statement to a judge

It's not Miranda rights. It's the suspects constitutional rights, the SUSPECTS rights. The police are required to tell a suspect that they have the right to remain silent and to have an attorney. If the cops follow the book then there shouldn't be any problem, or at least not enough of one to warrant trashing the constitution.

The Constitution has worked pretty good for over 200 years. It's what makes this such a great country. If you don't like the rights you have as an American citizen, maybe you should move to China.

No, we should not change them. These rights are in place to protect the individual from the government.

On the contrary- it strengthens the police officers' cases. I wish we could fund film crews to follow every police officer. Then there could be cold, hard evidence that was incontrovertable in a trial. If you inform a suspect of his or her rights, then you cannot say that he or she was unaware of them.
