This is very interesting and goes to show that every United States citizen should know all of their rights themselves. We need to know what they mean, how they can be used against us and how it is beneficial to our being. If not we will be done wrong in many situations though out our lives without knowing it. No one should ever be charged or convicted of a crime before they know these rights thoroughly. In the past these rights were commonly misunderstood and thought to be bad for law enforcement. When it came to convicting criminals people were thinking that it would ruin the Criminal justice system and have them back into society. In reality the Miranda rights have helped victims, criminals and humanity itself. We all have the right to the justice we deserve. It has helped the criminal justice system become more proficient in the way they handle people and cases now. They cannot go around beating confessions out of people, unlawfully interrogate someone or search a person’s property without a warrant. Thanks to these rights we can live in this county some sense of dignity. Erza-012
I completely agree with you. Many people feel all of their rights are revoked and they don't have rights. When you look at it from this point of view these rights are still there and are made sure they are not tampered with either. I agree all American citizens should know their rifhts and be comfortable with knowing that they won't be taken advantage of for not being well educated on what the legal systems can and can not do whether or not they have broken the law. General-012
Just like General-012, I completely agree with your post. Everyone should know what their rights are and what they mean. If they don't, that could be a bad situation. It could be used against them because the police or whoever could manipulate the person to give them information illegally. I also agree with your statement "In reality the Miranda rights have helped victims, criminals and humanity itself.". It is so true, and well put. FBI-012
Well said! Every citizen should know their rights on their own, they should not have to have the police tell them or advise them of their rights, but every police officer should tell them because it is procedure and so cases like this do not get thrown out. This allows for that criminal to go back out there and do it again. Like stated, this allows for everyone to have their rights protected in cases like this, even the criminal because, like most people know, innocent people get put in jail all the time and it is better to let one guilty person go than to send ten innocent people to jail. army27D-012
The Miranda rights are known to all in America. The Miranda rights not only protect innocent people, the Miranda rights will also help protect guilty criminals too. This came from a very well-known court case Arizona vs. Miranda in 1966. After this court case it was forever known to help protect the citizens of America. This also helps to protect the individuals from giving more information to the police that will soon later incriminate them. To protect someone from self-incrimination is helped by the 5th amendment. Confessions before Miranda went into effect we used what the citizen said and would be punished. There were many flaws known in the United States and this was to make a move in the right way to make a positive change in the United States. This made it so police officers had to inform citizens their rights when being placed under arrest. I think this is a very good thing to have in place. I can see how in times it would be in the law enforcement side can make it harder to win a case in certain circumstances. What matters as well though is we are abiding by the rights all American citizens have, and making sure we are having proper and legit evidence to make sure we are not prosecuting the wrong individuals too. General-012
I agree with you because we do need to protect our rights. Some people would be arrested for the wrong reason. the police would start to pressure them during the interrogation and cause those people to self-incriminate themselves when they are innocent just so the police could hear what they want to hear. which is wrong when you look at it. i also do agree with the fact that it would be harder for the police to win cases but in the end with this we will be able to have proper and legit evidence to put them away the right way. 88Mike012
i fully agree with your post that the miranda rights are not only used for the innocent but the guilty also. I also agree with you that the united states had many flaws and that this helped us in a way to clear things up. I can see where yous said that it can make law enforcments job a little bit more difficult. Hunter-012
This video is a good example of the difference of what it used to be back then and how it really is now. In this video it shows many rights we had back then which was none at all. Which is not cool or right for us the people of the United States. We have rights that are clearly stated in the Bill of Rights that we have had for some years. Since they showed us how back then that people who were arrested were being abused for a confession instead of giving them there rights. So using Ernesto Miranda as an example of how he was not given his rights but yet he gave a confession and that was used against him when he was arrested for raping a girl and was given the sentence of 20 to 30 years in prison. you i think that was a good choice to give him that long for what he did but in the end he still should of given his rights. So since they took it further they were able to explain his rights but he was still charged with the same sentence which was good. Cause they helped him not to self-incriminate himself by what he said so with the police finding more evidence to convict him is better than going by his word. So now a days since the police are reading people that they arrest their rights and finding more evidence to convict them it makes it better to figure out if they are really innocent or guilty and not have to use force or making people think that they have no rights at all which is wrong. So now a days since we have the Miranda rights it has helped with protecting people all over the United States. 88Mike012
It is very much true that now because of the Miranda Rights police have to find good useful evidence to charge someone. I believe it is there job as police officers to be able to put the innocent and the ones that are not innocent in a category after gathering good evidence. The Miranda Rights was just something that needed to be done to help the society. LAWS012
I really like this video. When I was younger, I thought there were always the Miranda Rights. I thought it was just apart of the job and was there since the beginning. Ernesto Miranda has definitely changes the way of policing. Before him, police could manipulate criminals or anyone. The violated their rights. I personally believe that reciting Miranda rights is a fantastic thing to do. Some people may not know what their rights are, and once they get Miranda told to them they know what their rights are. They cannot be violated. Our rights need to be protected. If they weren't, I think that the police would do whatever they wanted to do in order to get criminals to confess or even talk while being interrogated or interviewed. Miranda in today's society really does protect people from having their rights violated everyday. If a police officer does not read someone their rights, they can blow off the whole case because the person's rights were violated. FBI-012
FBI-012, good post. I too thought these rights were always implied until middle school when we learned about Ernesto. I often wondered how todays society and jurors would've handled this case being that he raped a female. Would it have gone all the way to the supreme court or would he still be sitting in jail? It's great that these rights are implied but i feel that as citizens we should also know these. It's all to common that we detain someone and the first thing out of their mouth is, "I know my rights and you didn't read them to me". Clearly they don't as they aren't under arrest and aren't being questioned, simply asking their identification information which has to provided when asked. SamDavid012
I do believe that Miranda Rights are important and it is great that it was established. Everyone in the United States have their own rights by the constitution and with having Miranda Rights it does help. Not all criminals want to confess and knowing that the Miranda can work good or bad sometimes they confess and other times they make you work for that confession but at the end of the day gathering evidence is always important with or without a confession. Either way the Miranda Rights is not a good or bad thing. It really just lets everyone know that you do have rights and if you do not want to speak then that is your choice but eventually officers will find out the truth. On the other hand if the Miranda was not established a lot more innocent people would be behind bars which we all know there is a ridiculous amount of innocent people in jail or prison already. It is hard to believe that Miranda was so close to getting off for raping women thankfully he did his time for his charge. Nice video. LAWS012
I think it's sad that miranda warnings weren't widely used until after 1966. I don't feel that is 100% of the governments fault that people aren't informed of their rights. As citizens of a country where all of your rights are published there for you to learn and know then we should all know our rights and freedoms, ignorance of the law isn't a defense in court. Understandably, coerced confessions shouldn't be allowed in court. I wonder how this case would've panned out had it not been heard by Justice Earl Warren who was famous for finding fault in policing. I also feel that not being properly advised of these rights and lead to false confessions as most people think the interrogation will never end if they don't say anything. SamDavid012
I completely agree with you. But if its your first time in interrogation it is better that you call a lawyer otherwise your words can be used against you even though you are trying to help them by providing information because lawyer can make a deal with officer and helps you get better justice. Mostwanted012
The video was very informative I really liked it. It is important that suspect who has been arrested know there right because not everyone knows what’s Miranda rights. But now almost everyone knows what Miranda rights are because of the T.V shows. However sometimes police forget to read to the rights during arrest and because of that suspect or criminal walks freely because officer forgot to read his/her right. And on top of that lawyers came in and make it hard for officers to interrogate the suspect. If he/she has committed a serious crime lawyers need to understand that by helping them and free them can be dangerous to others because they are going to commit a crime why gave them a chance to do that all over again. Miranda rights are useful to ones who don’t know how Miranda works during interrogation and lawyers can help you consult what to answer and what not to answer. Mostwanted012
I agree, lawyers should help to get the truth out. However, that isn't what they get paid to do. Their job is to protect their client. Their job is to make sure that their clients 5th amendment rights aren't violated, and that they aren't incriminating themselves. Do I agree with it? No. But it's their job. Which is why police HAVE to do their job at finding irrefutable evidence. Gogetit012
We all know, or should know, what the Miranda rights are. But do we really know what that means? I like how Miranda got his conviction overturned. I like how this overturn made the police search for new evidence to later turn around and convict him again. I like that this puts limitations on police forcing confessions. I like that this makes police continue to search for real, viable, usable evidence to ensure that they are convicting the real criminal, and not just the first person to convict. I understand that this made people weary that by informing suspects of their rights, they would inevitably be returning criminals onto the street, but by police being forced to find that evidence, they are better able and equipped to build a solid case around the criminal. Gogetit012
In this video i think it gives us clarity on how exactly the Miranda rights are used and why they were formed.I t also helps us realize how the miranda rights are can help someone such as we saw in the case of Miranda vs Arizona. And i also think that the miranda rights are an important part of the the job for police officers. The reason being is that if someone commits a crime and they forget to read the offender the miranda rights they will be set free, instead of being charged with their offense. But then again the miranda rights can help criminals stay out of jail as they mentioned in the video by having them make confessions. But it also helps people know exactly what rights they have and do not have and so they know they do not have to talk to anyone unless they have a lawyer. The main thing it has to offer is that it gives everyone equality. Hunter-012
I watch Law and Order all the time and after so many episodes, I could say the Miranda Warning (what they have on there) by heart. I never knew what this exactly was until down the road when they talked about it. From there I knew that this was the Miranda Warning, only to find out I don't exactly know what the Miranda Warning is. We talked about it in CRJ110 and I got a better understanding and find it quite interesting. Although I don't think Miranda should have been set free; I have to acknowledge the fact that they never read him his warnings and that was against his rights that every citizen of the United States are given. Our country was based on the Constitution, but mainly the Bill of Rights and just because time progressed and we aren't exactly familiar with it anymore does not mean we can change it. The Bill of Rights are always somewhere whether it be about gun rights or search and seizure, so we should be very familiar with them! army27D-012
I enjoyed watching this video. I feel that it is important to have the Miranda Rights because it gives the people their own rights. Before 1966, it wasn't uncommon for police officers to be violent or do whatever they needed to do to get a confession or more evidence. Police now a days have to work for that evidence because people or suspects have their own rights too. In the case in 1966, Ernesto gave a confession, but he wasn't given his rights so they found more evidence to go with his case, and gave him his rights and he was sentenced to 20 to 30 years because of the rape of a girl. When reading someone their Miranda rights, it should become a habit when arresting someone and then it will be less likely to happen. CSI012
The Miranda Rights are important because it helps make sure that suspects understand their rights. Everyone has the Miranda Rights which are the right to remain silent, the right to a lawyer, if one can’t afford a lawyer the court will appoint one, and anything you say can be used against you in court. Third degree is when violence is used by the police to get a confession but if proven violence was used the confession becomes inadmissible. Miranda gave a full confession and wrote everything down on paper which also stated that he knew his rights and understood them but he did not. He was convicted but later his case was brought before the Supreme Court and they decided that his fifth and six amendments was violated. I think that it’s interesting that a lot of people objected to criminals being told their rights but if they were arrested they would want to know their rights too. The police learned to work differently and use more forensics evidence. The Miranda rights are given to all people and help portect our way of life. Canine012
As creator of this video, a point that I wish I emphasized more is the Miranda Rights relation to a line in the Pledge of Allegiance, "One nation... with liberty and justice for all." America was founded on these two beliefs, liberty and justice, but they are also inherently contradictory. Justice involves taking away rights, but liberty is having rights. The Miranda Rights provide a balence of the two for American police by insuring that suspects rights are honored so that proper justice can be dealt. Before the Miranda Rights, proper justice was uncommon in some parts of America because police regularly would take advantage of suspects, which oftentimes ended in wrongful convictions and always ended in unfair justice.
