Why is this guy being allowed to manipulate the law? The couple that crashed the presidential party is doing the same thing.
Double standards should be a thing of the past.

What constitutional right allows you to refuse questioning after a possible crime?

When you can't answer, cast an insult. And yet you wonder why.

5th Amendment....duh

Woods charged with careless driving. Why was the wife not charged with domestic violence?
More importantly, why were THEY allowed to abuse the system?
For the ill informed...the 5th amendment only applies in the trial phase.

When a person is being ARRESTED, not QUESTIONED as in this case. I really don't have time to teach you proper procedure. Next time think before you speak!
quote:Originally posted by Surreal Justice:
Make up your mind. Are you going with Miranda rights or Constitutional rights?
They are entirely different. One is during the arrest, the other is after the arrest.
You are trying to act like they are both the same so you wont look like a fool. Too late!

Now the idiot thinks Miranda rights and fifth amendment rights are the same. Thats a goodu'..
quote:Originally posted by budsfarm:
"Pleading the 5th" is nothing more than a person exercising their rights against self incrimination. It begins with Miranda which gets its legal basis from the 5th Amendment. To say they are different is to say a father is not related to his biological son.

To Lawguy...since you entered the thread.
#1...Would the police questioning Woods be required to give a Miranda warning?
#2...Would he be able to plead the fifth during questioning?
#3...Are Miranda rights the same as the Fifth amendment rights?

1. Not if he wasn't in custody. That is sometimes an issue, but basically it depends on whether a reasonable person would believe they were free to leave.
2. You don't "plead the fifth" during questioning exactly. You can exercise your right to remain silent or your right to request an attorney. But contrary to your previous post, you can "plead the fifth" in a civil trial as well. As long as there is a chance you could incriminate yourself, you can refuse to answer questions. It also applies to co-defendants, etc.
3. Miranda didn't create any rights. It just clarified what rights a person must be aware of before being interrogated. Also contrary to popular conception, there's no requirement that any exact wording be used. It's just become standardized to make sure the officers don't leave anything out. All the rights enumerated in the warnings come from the Fifth Amendment and other constitutional provisions. There are even some differences between jurisdictions when it comes to the right to counsel. Some will say you will have an attorney appointed "at no charge." In Alabama there is a good possibility that you will eventually pay the fee for an appointed attorney. The Constitution only requires that everyone has an opportunity to have counsel, not necessarily that it be free.
