“miranda means arrest AND interrogation. he was not being asked questions as to whether or not an infraction was committed. the officer observed it!”
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.
thefactor attempted to explain to you how Miranda warnings work, facts you apparently didn’t know, and you responded by accusing him of assulting arrestees. That’s not the sort of rhetoric that people interested in having a factual discussion of the issues engage in.
i didn't insult anyone. and if you had read my post you would have seen that the blame here goes all around.
but if i tell someone to put their hands behind their back and they begin to walk away and put their hands towards their pockets and ask me if i'm crazy, you can bet he'll be on the ground one way or another.
or would you have preferred the officer to have used a nightstick and sent this guy to the hospital rather than a taser where you're fine 10 minutes later.
sorry the taser looks oh so scary to you.
