Front 58

A Jail Investigation Detective went to an inmate’s cell to question him regarding possession of narcotics. The Detective talked to the inmate through the “food port”. The Detective told the inmate he could ask for a different Detective if he wished, and did not confront the inmate with any evidence. The inmate was not handcuffed or otherwise restrained inside the cell. Questioning, in this custody environment, still requires that Miranda rights are read to the suspect ?

(True or False)

Back 58

False

This is because the inmate was questioned in his "normal" custody environment. If he was taken out of his normal cell, or out of a dorm room setting, and placed in a smaller, more restrictive environment (smaller cell or handcuffed), a Miranda advisement would have been necessary (because his "normal" freedom would have been even more restricted).

Officers intending to interrogate an inmate must check to see that he has not invoked his Miranda “right” to counsel within the past 14 days, to any officer, on any case. Maryland v. Shatzer (2010) 130 S.Ct. 1213, 1223-24. (See 1MB 2010-05.) If not, they may remove the inmate to an interview room, avoid the use of added restraints, advise him that he can end the interview and return to his cell at anytime, and take an admissible confession without Miranda warnings.

A waiver would be needed for questioning on a specific offense as to which the Sixth Amendment applies (after indictment or arraignment and appointment/retention of counsel). Montejo v. Louisiana (2009) 556 US 778. (See 1MB 2009-10.)

• to carry such a firearm while it is concealed upon his or her person;
• to carry such a firearm while it is concealed in any vehicle that is under the person's control or direction;
• to cause such a firearm to be carried concealed within any vehicle in which the person is an occupant.

Nothing in this policy precludes personnel from entering any confined area to effect the rescue of an inmate in the event of exigent or life-threatening circumstances. However, any such actions by staff must be clearly articulable and documented.

Calculated: Calculated extractions occur in situations where an inmate is in an area that can be isolated or controlled.

Is this a good arrest, even if the waitress never saw the suspect expose his genitals ?

Back 606

Yes

The appellate court ruled that it was necessary to prove the defendant had exposed his genitals; but it was not necessary for someone to actually see his genitals to prove exposure had occurred (in the case cited, it can be inferred that because semen was found, the suspect's genitals has been exposed).

Generally, a conviction for Indecent Exposure requires proof of :
• The defendant must willfully and lewdly expose the private parts of his (or her) person; and
• Such exposure must be committed in a public place where others are present to be offended or annoyed.
