Do you know your Bill of Rights?
Oh shit. How much do I owe?
You take plastic?
I know you have the Right to remain silent.
I learnt that from watching the original Robocop film which had a ludicrous amount of swearing in it.
Robocop is the best!!!!!!!!
Actually, most people don't understand what is required when speaking with the police.Not necessarily - you could be interviewed by the police as a witness.

"Right to remain silent" is part of what is called the Miranda warning that police often give criminal suspects before questioning them. A lot of people believe that the police are required to issue the Miranda rights to a suspect before questioning them. They are not.
First, Miranda does not apply to anyone who is not in custody or otherwise free to leave. Whether it is on the street, in a squad car, or at the station, unless the person is not free to leave, Miranda does not apply. If they are wearing handcuffs, clearly they are not free to leave. Does that mean the police are then obligated to inform them of their rights? Nope.
The police may question anyone they believe may have information regarding a criminal investigation. If the person they are questioning is in custody and that person reveals a fact that implicates them in a crime, that statement by the person cannot be used in their prosecution sans a Miranda warning.
Are you sure? I think that if you gave the police some incriminating information (after an arrest and during a formal interview) and the prosecution brings it up in court, I think it would be inadmissible if the police had not read you your rights.
"It is important to note that police are only required to Mirandize a suspect if they intend to interrogate that person under custody. Arrests can occur without the Miranda Warning being given. If the police later decide to interrogate the suspect, the warning must be given at that time..."

Some people are under the mistaken impression that if the Miranda warning is not given, that the arrest is illegal. That is simply false. Miranda says if the police choose to interrogate a suspect in custody without informing the suspect of their rights, any information or evidence obtained during that interrogation will not be entered into evidence in a trial.
The police are not legally required to issue the Miranda warning. However, failure to do so risks having good police work come to naught.
The police have up to 48 hours to charge you. During that 48 hours police can question you, unless you invoke your right to counsel. Police have been known to interrogate suspects unceasingly for days, saying "he didn't ask for a lawyer." Miranda puts an effective end to that kind of behavior.If the police arrest you they have to charge you with something or let you go (though they can do both)
If they charge you with something, they need to bring you in front of a judge and if they do that, they have to offer you counsel.
A Bill of Whites?bill of rights, for the whites

If right wingers were really serious about gun rights and everyone should have a few, they would have charities that ran around providing firearms to the homeless. Wonder why they don't.
Think about how many Second Amendment supports own guns. They are just afraid of being forced to give their own guns away by police officers.

Ultimately yes, if there's a gun ban and gun owners refuse to surrender their guns....the police would seize them and cart the owners off to jail.
You must be really stupid to think gun control is the same as forcing gun owners to surrender their guns to police.
Democrats always talk about gun CONTROL. Banning certain types of guns can mean phasing them out: you can keep your automatic rifles, but those shopping for new guns will have to settle for semiautomatic. Stuff like that is not prohibited in the Second Amendment.
If guns are illegal, only criminals would have guns. Which is a tautology.Ultimately yes, if there's a gun ban and gun owners refuse to surrender their guns....the police would seize them and cart the owners off to jail.

Glad you appreciated the point.lol...........

There can be no significant gun control without a repeal of the 2nd Amendment.
