Why Should I Care?
What are the practical applications for learning about your Miranda Rights? If you do some stupid crap and get arrested, you should know what your rights are and what you are legally required to have. You should know that if your rights are withheld, then your testimony is inadmissible in court.
This is important, especially given the laws legalizing more and more drugs, and making them legal at younger and younger ages. Knowing your rights to be able to play the system is an important component of being an adult. This ability to rig the system in your favor is something you will use over and over again, but never doubt that people are doing the same thing against you. This is how lawyers make their money, by finding the loopholes and using them to rig the system in their favor. |
