wrong. mere arrest has no bearing on miranda.

miranda means arrest AND interrogation. he was not being asked questions as to whether or not an infraction was committed. the officer observed it!

i have arrested a decent number of people and have NEVER uttered miranda in my life. that is for detectives who have arrested someone on probable cause and who are about to ask specific, pointed questions as to the commission of the crime. THAT is when miranda is needed. not here. hollywood did this guy a disservice.

Wrong - to the common person they think they get the miranda when they are arrested. He was asking for it because he was being arrested. He had already admitted to his speed thereby giving up his 5th amendment.

“i have arrested a decent number of people and have NEVER uttered miranda in my life”

I can believe it. How many of them did you beat up for dissing you?

“hollywood did this guy a disservice.”

SO? What does that have to do with anything. You insulted this guy because he was asking for his miranda. All the officer had to do was explain the situation to him. But he couldnt even do that. His ego was too big and too out of control.
