Miranda Rights; Community Advocates
Miranda Rights
Do you have the right to remain silent in police custody? How about the right not to be questioned, some would say “coercively”, without a lawyer present? Most people think that they are protected under the famous Miranda ruling, which not only informs people of their rights, but allows them to remain silent without further hassle, protecting their 5th Amendment rights. In the context of an Oxnard case, the Supreme Court will review the Miranda ruling to see if police questioning should be regulated if it does not lead to the introduction of incriminating evidence in a court case. Host Larry Mantle speaks with Eugene Volokh, professor of law at UCLA Law School, specializing in constitutional law and Robert Pugsley, professor of criminal law at Southwestern University School of Law.
