Miranda was made up under the assumption cops lie about having advised suspects of their rights.So as long as we’re assuming,
what’s to say they can’t just lie about having Mirandized someone ,too? (not all states tape confessions)
Seems silly to interrupt a suspect who starts spilling his guts on the ride to precinct so you can “mirandize” him. This scheme was invented by the same ilk who think there are people who don’t know smoking is bad for you and thereby they should be awarded money for smoking .If you won’t or can’t read the Bill of Rights, don’t complain when you don’t know your rights.
In an interesting aside, Ernesto Miranda of miranda fame was murdered in a bar fight and his murderer was freed due to not being “mirandized” correctly.He got his justice, IMO.what comes around,goes around.
