Question

Please help, I'll give you a medal<3

Why does the U.S. protect the rights of suspects?

Answer 1

Well, how would you feel if I was a police officer, and I was able to trick you into saying something incriminating. Police officers aren't able to do that because of the Miranda Rights.

They go like this:

You have the right to be silent, anything you say or do can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to be represented by a lawyer during any questioning, if you can't afford one, one will be appointed for you if you so chose.


If it wasn't for those two sentences, criminals could really incriminate themselves even if they didn't do anything wrong. Does that give you any information, or would you like more?
