No Right to an Attorney
The story begins with the horror of being pulled over by a police officer. More often than not, you have no idea why they are pulling you over. Slicker than snot, they ask you to step out of the car and blow into a breathalyzer, no “Miranda rights” reading, no reason why they pulled you over. They repeat the demand that you get out of the car with increased threat in their voice. And, you do it.
You think to yourself, you have nothing to hide. Only criminals don’t cooperate with police. And, just that quickly, you have give away all your constitutional rights. All of your constitutional protections are gone. You think to yourself, I have a right to remain silent. Why should I agree to take a test? The 5th Amendment says I don’t have to incriminate myself. Something’s not right here…. And anyway, you think, do I really have to take a test? Are those Breathalyzers accurate? Would a blood test be better?

Miranda Rights Gone
Supreme Court Building
You do not have the right to remain silent. This was the decision handed down by the court last week. The Miranda “right to remain silent” is no protection against self incrimination. For those who are completely unaware of how those rights were applied in every day life, I shall go over them. The court ruled you have to “verbally” invoke those rights first. This overturns Miranda completely in two way.
- Someone who speaks, are automatically assumed to have waived all legal rights to remain silent
- it is assumed you have waived your rights if you do not speak
- see point #1
- rinse repeat
In other words, Miranda is completely and utterly gone. To further hit home this incredible waiving of rights, police have no obligation to stop questioning you, regardless of what you say.

Field Sobriety Test
Ask any Matlock couch lawyer what the
Miranda “rights” are and they can quote them word for word. But, even they do not know what they actually mean. What is worse, are those who cannot quote the Miranda warning word for word. The warning is very clear and direct. And the first words are, “you have the right to remain silent.”
“Any lawyer worth his salt will tell the suspect in no uncertain terms to make no statement to police under any circumstances.” – 1949 opinion by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson.
Yes the very same supreme court that is the last court in the land has consistently said, citizens should not talk to police. This might be contrary to everything that education has told you. This might be against everything your very political church has told you. This might be against everything your good intending parents have taught you.
You cannot be innocent if you are waiving you right to remain silent.
