Answer 5

Every officer I work closely with has no problem with some one exercising their constitutional rights. I always tell officers that I train that if they are going to get mad if someone exercises their rights, to find a new job.

I have always believed that if one of my fellow officers violates the rights of anyone, they are no better than the garbage we are trying to put in jail.

Besides if the bad guy does not make a statement, that's less paperwork for me.

Answer 6

Of course.
The police will want you to cooperate with them.

However, it is your right to ask for an attorney.

One thing to consider... if you are already under arrest your statements are not likely to make much difference in whether you are charged or not. Of course they could add to evidence beyond a reasonable doubt...

Answer 7

The Miranda warning is a Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination – use it; however, know its limits.

"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 have an attorney present during questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you."

Answer 8

They will be frustrated because they always hope to get a "post-Miranda" confession out of someone they arrested.

However, if the cops are arresting you, you absolutely(!) should say "Please, officer, stop asking me questions until my lawyer is present."

Even if you think you have a great excuse/explanation for your actions, you still ought not say anything. You explanation may not be the best one and it may come back to haunt you if you go to trial.

Answer 9

You have the right not to speak without the presence of legal counsel. The police might twist your arm (metaphorically speaking), but you do not have to talk. However, you do have to tell them your name, address, and date of birth.

Answer 10

Nope, they are used to it. Once you are arrested, the arresting officers job is done.

Answer 11

Well, there is information you are required to give. Such as name, age, ect...(booking information). So if you refuse to answer that, you might be charged with another crime.
