Answer 5

Its called the Miranda Rights

The Miranda warning is a police warning that is given to criminal suspects in police custody or in a custodial situation in the United States before they are asked questions relating to the commission of a crime. A custodial situation is where the suspect's freedom of movement is restrained although he or she is not under arrest. Police may request biographical information such as name, date of birth and address without reading suspects their Miranda warnings. A statement by the suspect will not constitute admissible evidence unless the suspect has been advised of and waived their "Miranda rights".

The Supreme Court did not specify the exact wording to be used when informing a suspect of his or her rights. However, they did set down a set of guidelines which must be followed. The ruling states:

...The person in custody must, prior to interrogation, be clearly informed that he or she has the right to remain silent, and that anything the person says may be used against that person in court; the person must be clearly informed that he or she has the right to consult with an attorney and to have that attorney present during questioning, and that, if he or she is indigent, an attorney will be provided at no cost to represent him or her.

As a result, American English has acquired the verb Mirandize, meaning to read to a suspect his or her Miranda rights (when that suspect is taken into custody for the purpose of questioning).

Answer 6

in the uk the freedom of thought is absolute, as is the right to express an opinion, so you are entitled to say you think someone is an idiot, or in your opinion they are an idiot, without redress, you can also express a wish, such as that its my fondest wish that you are burned alive whilst being made to watch your wife being raped, cannot be construed as a threat, because you are merely expressing a figment of your imagination, which most of the population do after buying a lottery ticket.! however a police officer may turn the phrase round to find direct favour with a court. to infer a threat, insult or behaviour that could cause a breach of the peace, in other words lie.!!!! as yet we only have the start of the thought police being activated in this country, and a times editor expressed concern some years ago, over the prosecution of those with paedophile images on their computers, that non-withstanding how distasteful it was, they were being prosecuted and imprisoned for what they were thinking, not for any physical act, and therefore their right to free thought was being curtailed. concern was also expressed as to how long would it take, before people were prosecuted and imprisoned for having thoughts contrary to those held by the particular political party, of the time, as they may pose a threat to the government of the day, because of conflicting opinions, which could see labour mp's imprisoned for mentally opposing a current Conservative administration.!!!

You have the right to remain silent

Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have him present with you while you are being questioned.

If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you before any questioning if you wish.

You can decide at any time to exercise these rights and not answer any questions or make any statements.

Hope this helps.

Answer 9

Miranda warning:

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you at interrogation time and at court.

The courts have since ruled that the warning must be "meaningful", so it is usually required that the suspect be asked if he understands his rights.

Answer 10

It is called a Miranda Warning. See below:

You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions. Do you understand?
Anything you do say may be used against you in a court of law. Do you understand?
You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future. Do you understand?
If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish. Do you understand?
If you decide to answer questions now without an attorney present you will still have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to an attorney. Do you understand?
Knowing and understanding your rights as I have explained them to you, are you willing to answer my questions without an attorney present?

Answer 11

Yes, the previous posters are correct: the Miranda warning. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law, you have the right to retain an attourney, if you cannot afford one, one will be provided... etc.
