How is the Miranda Rights an influence on policing?

Answer 1

The Miranda warning is a police warning that is given to criminal suspects in police custody in the United States before they are asked questions relating to the commission of crimes. Police may request biographical information such as name, date of birth and address without reading suspects their Miranda warnings. Compulsory confessions will not constitute admissible evidence unless suspects have been made aware of and waived their "Miranda rights".

The Miranda warnings were mandated by the 1966 United States Supreme Court decision in the case of Miranda v. Arizona as a means of protecting a criminal suspect's Fifth Amendment right to avoid coercive self-incrimination (see right to silence). However, since its creation by the Warren Court, the Supreme Court has indicated that the Miranda decision imposes "prophylactic" or preventative safeguards rather than protections mandated by the Fifth Amendment privilege.

As far as its' "influence"....I just work harder to find MORE evidence when a suspect is considered in a criminal investigation!

Best wishes!

Answer 2

Ummm, they have to read you your rights when they arrest you? basically telling you to keep your mouth shut or you will make yourself look even more guilty


EDIT: Well apparently your self righteous *** is after me Kevin, Lol, I don't think that they are out to get ME, I think that they are bored in my town and like to harass young males like me, even when I walk down the street, they pull me over and do background checks, they are so bored that they sit in parking lots at businesses in closed hours to make sure nobody trespasses, so we can't cut through parking lots to get somewhere faster without the cops approaching us.

Answer 3

Yeah...what KC said....the other nimrod thinks the cops are out to get him...don't listen to him....heck don't even talk to him or the cops could think your freinds and accuse you of stealing a truck or something......
