“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.
Fortunate for this man his state did not have fascist laws that stripped him of the right to privacy, granted by the constitution. His state clearly recognizes that civil liberties are to be observed by the state more so than anyone else. Unfortunately, the arresting officer wasn’t so erudite. Note that without any evidence of impairment the officer should have wished him a good day and saved this man all this harassment. Too often policemen have hidden agendas, such as padding their own pockets from writing as many DUI arrests as they can, since people don’t fight DUI arrests.
