I'm sure your law enforcement union brothers are proud of you.

To say a warning about constitutional rights is forcing a cop to be your personal lawyer is ridiculous.

Or, in other words, uneducated or stupid people don't have rights.

Whose responsibility is it for people to be informed of their rights. Is it your responsibility as a citizen to know your rights? Or is it the responsibility of an employee of the state to inform you of your rights? Just like ignorance of the law should not be deemed an excuse for violating the law, ignorance or your rights should not be deemed the fault of the state that you die not exert your rights.

No, rather "uneducated or stupid people" have the responsibility to educate themselves and to inform themselves. Why should it be anyone else's responsibility to inform those who are too apathetic to inform themselves?

This is how a society of self-reliance and responsibility has devolved into a society of brain-dead dependents who want government to provide them with everything.
