It should be the responsibility of citizens to learn and understand their due process rights not for law enforcement to have to tell every criminal how not to incriminate themselves.
If someone can’t go on google and read the 5th-8th amendments before going out and doing some dumb and illegal shit then they deserve to be clueless thinking they have to answer questions during interrogation and be dead in the water when their trial comes.
Its easy to search “Do Americans have the right to a lawyer” on google.
TLDR: Knowing and understanding your rights should be the responsibility of citizens not cops.
You think there is democracy in the US? Our votes don’t even matter because politicians purposefully draw the districts to favor the outcome they want (gerrymandering) and it’s completely legal because the people in charge of making the laws are the same people that are in control and want to stay in control.
The US is soft despotism. Giant corporations literally buy the laws they want at the expense of the people, because politicians like money and are happy to sign away bills for a large
bribegift of a million dollars. The people aren’t in control and haven’t been anywhere close to in control for nearly a century.What was illegal for President Warren G Harding in the 1920’s (giving all his under qualified buddies cabinet positions, so they could all make huge deals with government contracts) is now just the norm and completely legal.
Last time when they voted, the still acted that way… :)
That’s why I mentioned that the US is just operating in a form of soft despotism. It is not obvious the the American people.
Most US citizens believe they have the power or believe they have a lot of power or even at least some power.
Soft despotism gives people the illusion that they are in control, but actually they don’t have any real influence over the government.
