Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution

The landmark U.S. Supreme Court case I have chosen to write about is Miranda v. Arizona. This was a case in Arizona where Mr. Miranda was arrested at his home and taken by police into custody to a police station where he was then identified by a complaining witness. Once, he was identified he was interrogated by two police officers for about two hours and as a result to this long interrogation he signed a written confession to the crime. Therefore, once the case went to trial his oral and…

The Fifth Amendment provides citizens with the opportunity to not be a witness in their own trial so that the possibility of self-incrimination is diminished. The self-incrimination clause protects defendants, but can be misconstrued at times as an admission of guilt by the defendant. There are several cases that have had to deal with the issue of self-incrimination, including Salinas v. Texas 570 US __ (2013) and Mitchell v. United States 526 US 314 (1999). Salinas v. Texas 570 US __ (2013)…

Before 1966 there was really no right or warning that protected the people and told them what they were entitled to. As we all must have heard "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law". This famous warning was created because of the well-known case known as Miranda vs. Arizona. In which Ernesto Miranda from Arizona was convicted of various crimes but was let free. Due to the fact that he was unaware of his rights at the time, so…

Arizona In this case it is very important to know the “Miranda Warnings” which states “anyone has the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney, and anything that you state can be used against you” (Miranda Warning, 2014). In this case Miranda v. Arizona simply implements that an 18 year old girl was raped at knifepoint. Miranda was taken into custody and was corruptive…

People always hear police officers on TV say, "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you." These are very important words that police officers say to people who have been arrested or have been put up for interrogation. These are referred to as the Miranda Rights or Miranda Warnings.

the most well known court decisions in America, which requires Miranda warning be read to a suspect by law enforcement (Hall, 2014). Miranda warnings regulate interrogations, confessions, and admissions. These are also protected by the Fifth and Sixth Amendments, which give people the right from self-incrimination and the right to council respectively (Hall, 2014). The right of self-incrimination is the basis for having the Miranda warnings, which also notify a suspect they are entitled to…

There area series of policies that we need to follow in order to make an arrest. We need to follow the legal procedures in order to be able to arrest someone and take their freedom away from them. People have the right to just walk away from us if they don’t want to talk to us if they haven’t created a crime. In other words if we just randomly walk up to someone they don’t have to stay and talk to us. Miranda VS. Arizona was a case that changed the procedures on arresting anyone.…

What is the Miranda right? The Miranda right is a warning given by any police officer in the United States to any criminal suspects in police custody. The Miranda rights were created in 1966 after a trial was made against Miranda . He was found guilty of kidnapping and rape and was sentenced to 20-30 years of imprisonment.

the first major modifications to the initial decision. Additionally, there were many other cases that followed Miranda v. Arizona that altered the Miranda decision.

Do I think the 5th Amendment protects someone’s refusal to answer police questions when he hasn’t been arrested or read his rights? In my opinion, no, the 5th Amendment does not protect you from questioning. The judges over the Salinas v. Texas court case decided that the 5th Amendment's advantage against self-incrimination doesn’t work for people who just decide to silence themselves while being questioned.
