You should absolutely show up in court and raise complete hell with this Miranda rights angle. I am sure you will get off the hook. The judge will probably end up throwing the cop in jail and thanking you for bringing this to the court's attention.

lol, little heavy on the sarcasm today are we?

I just thought if you took my advice that it would make for an interesting new thread after your eventual release.

Haha... yeah, raise hell about the Miranda in court... see how far that gets ya. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Seriously, as has been mentioned above, Mirandizing someone only is necessary if they're being questioned in connection with a crime. They can arrest you, charge you, release you, and if they don't question you about the crime itself, it doesn't matter.

Think about the purpose of the Miranda warning... to give people the knowledge that they aren't REQUIRED to answer questions about a crime. To let people know they can have a lawyer present to advise them on making decisions such as which questions to answer, etc. If they didn't question you in any way, you didn't need a lawyer, did you?

Anyways... good luck. If they witnessed your 'reckless driving' and subsequently arrested and ticketed you, you're not likely to get off, IMO. The judge will take the officer's word over your 99 times out of 100, and on the 100th time, he'll err on the side of just letting you pay fines and court costs, essentially allowing you to keep it off your record. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Good luck, man.

Next time, drive more safely. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Since you are complaining about your rights, I'm going to assume you are black. If it was a white cop, you can play the race card. I mean, how dare a white cop pull over a black guy doing something illegal?

**awaits for someone to post pic of race card**

All I know is that Mr. Miranda must have been a wonderful man in light of all he did for the advancement of the law in this country.

the cop didn't see me, the states attorney from a county over called the cops and kept trying to get me to pull over by cutting me off and crap,imho he was a more reckless driver than i was. but really if you had some angry guy in a car behind you yelling at you and cutting you off and trying to force you off the road, would you have stopped for him. ****ing psycho.

 

[tRidiot 10+ year member]

Well, perhaps you could press charges against the attorney for assault with a deadly weapon?

Of course, it's your word against the word of a respected member of the bar.... once again, good luck. Lawyers have no problem lying, and he'd probably do so and end up getting you thrown UNDER the jail in the longrun.

So.... what were you doing?
