First off, the only time you have to have your rights read to you is if you are under arrest (or the equivalent restraints) and the police are interrogating you. The end. \n\nAdditionally, even if the officer intends to arrest you and he doesn't tell you he's going to, he still doesn't have to read you your rights. \n\nSo, what exactly is your situation? You said your lawyer told you that the police didn't have to read you your rights, but you didn't say what happened.

I'm starting to wonder.  Noticed several fireworks stands set up IN GEORGIA the last few days.  Hadn't heard that it was now legal...\n\nWhatever you do, BE SAFE AND RESPONSIBLE! :)

I like to use..........\n\n" The bad news is your under arrest, the good news is I just saved a lot of money by switching to GIECO!!!"\n\nbut the Answer your looking for is Miranda Rights. Police do not have to read them to you however, they only have to read them if they are going to ask you questions that may incriminate you.

You might be better off to contact the State Police with criminal complaints on county officers.  Locally they are a brotherhood and unlikely to do anything but send out a warning.

I read somewhere that it is.  Maybe it was someone similar issue but I wouldn't vouch for that.  Best advice from me: Call PA State and ask directly.\n\nRival

Yes, for about 12 hours in Peach County, Georgia in the good ol' USofA. What was the charge? Possession of an illegal substance. I'll let you guess what it was. (Hint: I was on my way to a Phish show in Atlanta)

Go to www.courts.state.va.us  Look under Case Information & pick the correct court (traffic tickets are in General District some criminal cases as well, Felonies are in Circuit)  Pick the county where the violation occurred & enter the offenders name (preferrably last name comma first initial)  It should give you the court date & time.\n\nChecked myself as well.  WOW!  4/26/06 at 9:00 a.m. in Circuit Court. Hope you get the results you want.

Miranda rights must be read to any person being arrested. If he was not read his miranda rights, then the arrest can be considered void. \nThough a judge would have to decide that. \nAre you sure your friend was not read his miranda rights? If he is making it up and files a compalaint, he could be held for perjury. So if he really wasn't read his miranda, he needs to talk to his lawyer right away, to file a complaint against the department and a complaint to have the arrest thrown out.

Highly doubtful, West Virginia abolished capital punishment in 1959, I believe, so I'm pretty sure that the electric chair was decomissioned shortly after. There is the possibility however that all of the components which would be the head and leg electrodes are still functional as well as the power box but I'm sure the prison authorities have removed connections between the two so if someone was to throw the switch nothing would happen, besides there are alot of ghost tours that happen inside the prison so my own logic says that there is absolutely no chance it would be servicable due to insurance purposes.

If it was in my county, I'd ask, "Hey (name), how's life, put anyone in jail today."  If it were anyone else I'd ask how they were dealing with their local drug problem and proably tell them about the one we have here.  My dad's a longtime ADA, so I had more of an inside of view and don't wonder about the innerworkings of a DA's office.

Please don't be offended, and perhaps it's just the way you write, but you clearly don't have the facts of this situation correctly.  What you are claiming happened here is (assuming I can understand it), really very difficult to believe.  \n\nLet's do this:\n\nIf your friend, who was convicted of whatever it was, was represented by an attorney in any court in this country, I would strongly suspect his 6th amendment rights were not violated and if they were, his attorney would almost certainly be filing an appeal as we speak.\n\nOtherwise, you probably need someone to help you with your question because it's nearly impossible to understand.

First of all tell your brother to exercise his right to remain silent and "shut up"  If he didn't touch the register then he didn't touch the register.  Its he said against he said.  when he was arrested did he have any amounts of currency or credit card receipts from the register on his person?  If not then they have no case. Lastly, with even a lame attorney they have to give you access to any video tape, its called "discovery" and you must be able to see it and it must be authenticated.  Most lawyers can destroy the authentication process, review entire tape and see if he has his old lady doing he nasty or just boring surveillance footage.  You can be arrested for anything, but whether your convicted or not is the thing. If you are acquitted then you sue for false arrest, malicious prosecution, sue the former employer for slander, depending on the circumstances I could think up a lot of things, but you need to make one thing clear and that's that your brother is innocent.  As for not being read his Miranda rights, the whole case should be thrown out based on that.  The moment the cuffs went on the Miranda rights and reason for arrest need to be stated,  Good Luck  What state are you in?

Golly....that's a tough one....\n\nThe judge will issue a bench warrant for your arrest (goes out nationwide).  If you or some one (like a bail bonds man) posted bail...kiss that money good by...the state keeps it. \n\nOnce you are caught or turn yourself it.....you'll receive free room and board compliments of the state of Virginia.  Also,  if the DA or judge is having a real bad day or just wants too...you can potentially be charged with flight to avoid prosecution.  And since you crossed a state line...you could be looking at a federal charge.\n\nBasically...you're screwed.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nFirst, when you filled out the Federal Form 4473, did you notice how they identified the Pistol, either new or used? If he falsified the information on the 4473, he may have just jeopardized his FFL. \n\nIf I remember correctly, you are in Virginia. What I would suggest ... \n\nFirst, check in the "tupperware case" for a product registration card. (By the way, the Glocks typically come in a "tupperware" style box the color of the pistol, with a peg in it to hold the pistol in place at the trigger guard.)\n\nSecond, if the product registration card is not there, either e-mail Glock at: sales@usglock.com or call them directly and tell them that you just purchased a Model 19 as new, but the product registration card was missing, and you want to register your pistol as the original owner to take advantage of the warranty. \n\nThird, if they are hesitant, ask if you are in fact the original registered owner for that pistol/serial number. You should get an honest answer. \n\nFourth, if you are told that you are not the original owner, or Glock will not help you, call the Headquarters of the Virginia State Police, and ask to speak to the section that oversees or licenses gun dealers in Virginia. You may start a fire storm ... but you did purchase your handgun as new, and if you were defrauded, you are entitled to legal recourse!\n\nGood luck!

It established the requirement that an officer state the 'Miranda Warning' that you always see on TV, that makes the person he/she is arresting aware of their Constitutional rights.\n\nThe following is a minimal Miranda warning, as outlined in the Miranda v Arizona case.\n\n"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to be speak to an attorney, and to have an attorney present during any questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be provided for you at government expense."\n\nThe following is a much more verbose Miranda warning, designed to cover all bases that a detainee might encounter while in police custody. A detainee may be asked to sign a statement acknowledging the following.\n\n"You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions. Do you understand?\nAnything you do say may be used against you in a court of law. Do you understand?\nYou have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future. Do you understand?\nIf you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish. Do you understand?\nIf you decide to answer questions now without an attorney present you will still have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to an attorney. Do you understand?\nKnowing and understanding your rights as I have explained them to you, are you willing to answer my questions without an attorney present?"
