QuoteThe court also decided that a court can use silence against a defendant against him before Miranda rights are given.

Besides that sentence making no sense, it sounds like you're fucked if you speak and you're fucked if you don't.

Q. G. Pennyworth

1st Amendment, only in the pen

4th Amendment, gone

5th Amendment, gone

6th Amendment, gone

7th Amendment, severely compromised by plea bargain system

8th Amendment, gone (unless torture before being charged with anything doesn't count, somehow)

9th Amendment, long gone

10th Amendment, in the iron lung


So, you can keep your guns, and the army doesn't get your guest room.


...for now.

"It has long been settled that the privilege `generally is not self-executing' and that a witness who desires its protection `must claim it.'"

They don't advertise it but, yeah, saying a single word to filth until you've been "cautioned" as we call it over here is the way of the dumbass. Any time I've been lifted, ever, the only thing I've said in response to any question, other than "are you P3nT4gR4m?" (failure to respond to this question is obstruction) is in the form of a question - "Are you arresting me?" otherwise there's wiggle room where they can claim you waived your rights. If it's CID they'll try everything to avoid it. Including flat out denying that they're about to slap the cuffs on you, by way of getting unprotected answers from you.

Anyone who has seen the inside of a US felony courtroom knows that.

You get all the justice you can afford.  Results may will vary based on the color of your skin.  And any cooperation at all is a spiked dildo up your ass.

Truth, I suppose.  Blaming yourself for it is hardly good for anyone, though.

I don't really blame myself. I think there are millions of people who are doing what I'm doing - going to work or school, coming home and trying to stay ahead of the cleaning and repairs and shit like that, and then collapsing into sleep - without much left to spare for outside SERIOUS things.

I've had Martin Niemöller's famous quote tripping through my head for years now, every time I look at a TV or a newspaper.

I've never liked that phrase, America getting what it demanded.  'S what got my hackles up in the first place.  Sorry for snapping at you. :(

I've never heard of him, what did he say?

It's all good. I meant it tongue-in-cheek but y'know how the internet sucks for conveying tone.

He said :

QuoteFirst they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

Then they came for the socialists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me.

We're being broken down into groups and picked off. Only much more nicely than the Nazis did it.
