Someone is doing bad police work if thousands of murder cases have been tossed because arresting officers are not mirandazing people that are arrested for murder.

The "workaround" for police detectives is NOT to inform of Miranda Rights. Without any legal basis for an arrest, the subject is free to go.

While chatting with the "person of interest", detectives can witness a guilty outburst. At that point, they can THEN make an arrest, and THEN inform the subject of Miranda.

Cases won by prosecutors are today being appealed citing Miranda—going back decades. That the NYTs writes glowingly of Miranda "Rights" should be a clue. "Police are chipping away at Miranda"

American Spectator:

"After the Supreme Court handed down Miranda, hundreds of criminals had their convictions overturned because of retroactive application. Many were admitted murderers. Thousands of other confessions have since been thrown out before they ever reached the courtroom.

All this turned loose a lot of potentially dangerous people."
