I just went thru my pocket constitution and I couldn't find "Miranda" anywere in it. Is it in fine print that I couldn't read?
“I just went thru my pocket constitution and I couldn’t find “Miranda” anywere in it. Is it in fine print that I couldn’t read?” You won’t find it there as you know. But the court decision requiring the admonishment of the rights contained within the Miranda statement arose from the idea that the defendant in the case was unaware he had those rights when he gave answers to questions asked of him. Thus law officers are required to educate an ignorant public before the answers to questions asked may be used as evidence at trial.
