We see it on nearly every TV cop show. The defendant is read his rights by the cops. Many of us know the warning by heart. The problem is that we may have to memorize a new set of Miranda rights warnings soon. The Supreme Court is considering changes to the warning to reflect its explicitness. New arguments have been introduces to the court saying that the warning does not go far enough to warn criminals that they have a right to have their lawyers present during an interrogation.
I am all for the new warning, (whatever it may be). I think that citizens should be able to take full advantage of their rights when faced with criminal charges. I hope the court decides to make the warning clearer for those who may not be as legal savvy as everyone else. More power to the People.
