CowboyFromHell`X July 13, 2004 Share CowboyFromHell`X Member July 13, 2004 I have a question because of something that happened and I was wondering if anyone knows the laws real well if I could PM and ask them about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appalachian_fox July 14, 2004 Share appalachian_fox Member July 14, 2004 (edited) And what kind, too, like estate, tax, motor vehicle, controlled substance act? Not something you need to put on the board, necessarily, but ask your legal counsel how much they know. I doubt anyone would intentionally steer you wrong here, but in case you end up getting counsel anywhere else... Oh, and P.S., best of luck with whatever you're dealing with.

CowboyFromHell`X July 14, 2004 Author Share CowboyFromHell`X Member July 14, 2004 Hmm, you all just assume he is asking for himself. I am sure it is for a "friend" of his. j/k Yeah, a "friend." Anyway, the questions I had I asked my dad but he seems to be the type to ignore everything. I was wondering if you could just be singled out of a group and searched for no reason at all. And I was wondering if they have to read you your miranda rights when you get arrested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble .gc July 14, 2004 Share Trouble .gc Member July 14, 2004 i believe its something like if there is probable cause, they can search you. they would have to get a search warrent to search your house or car. yes, they should always read you your rights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowboyFromHell`X July 14, 2004 Author Share CowboyFromHell`X Member July 14, 2004 (edited) Well, their probable cause was someone reaching under the seat to move it up. I think someone ratted me out. Edited July 14, 2004 by CowboyFromHell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appalachian_fox July 15, 2004 Share appalachian_fox Member July 15, 2004 (edited) Oooh, I have a friend who's a cop! I can ask him later today...he works night shift, sleeps during the day. I don't think those things vary by state, but if they do he'll be able to tell me. Maybe "your friend" can get the para charge dismissed if it was unloaded But seriously, I'll ask my friend later and best of luck with this.

[Mmmm]Homer July 15, 2004 Share [Mmmm]Homer Member July 15, 2004 My only qualification being that I'm a card-carrying member of the ACLU - I'd say that if you had a pound of pot, Jimmy Hoffa's pinky ring, and a MAC-10 under the seat - but they didn't read you your Miranda rights then you should walk. There's a reason we have laws and that they should be followed, if they didn't then the cop is at fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrX July 15, 2004 Share mrX GC Alumni July 15, 2004 There are 3 types of police encounters: Consensual Encounters Terry Stops (after Terry v. Ohio) and Arrests Consensual encounters are just that; if you're brilliant enough to let them do what they please, live with the consequences. For Terry stops, the police must have a reasonable articulable suspicion that criminal activity is happening. In a Terry stop, they can only frisk you for weapons, basically for the safety of the officer(s) and the public. There is some caselaw on a "plain feel" doctrine, but I don't know it off the top of my head. Arrests require probable cause that you committed an offense. Adjusting the seat sounds like a furtive movement argument for searching the car, not the person. Without details, it would be difficult to give any answer. The 4th Amendment is very detailed and there can be some real differences b/w the States on how it's interpreted. And, you never HAVE to be Mirandized. Miranda only applies to custodial interrogations, and only in those situations where the State intends to use statements you made at trial. There's my brief synopsis.
