    Shannon Leis - Truths and Misconceptions about your Miranda Rights

    Shannon Leis is the managing attorney of Imhoff and Associates and your host for today’s show. In this episode we are discussing Miranda warnings. We'll discuss the origination, substance, subsequent decisions, and the future of Miranda. What you will hear Miranda Warnings history and definitionWhen the warning must be providedInterrogation and evidence of guiltThe Public Safety ExceptionThe Jailhouse Informant ExceptionViolating a right v violating a rule protecting a rightThe future of Miranda warningsAlito, Clarence Thomas and stripping protections for the rights and remedies of the 4th, 5th and 6th amendments Quotes “Miranda was one of several groundbreaking decisions aimed at protecting the right to the accused handed down by the Warren Court that fundamentally changed criminal procedure.”  “A traffic stop is not considered custody. Police are not required to provide Miranda warnings for an investigative stop and although these warnings are not required, that does not mean anything you say can't be used against you, because it certainly will. So be mindful of your mouth when the officer is asking questions, assume everything you do and say is being recorded and will be used against you.” “While Miranda remains settled law, the effect of these subsequent decisions prevents Miranda from protecting people from police abuse, especially members of marginalized communities as it was intended to.” “If you're interrogated in custody without Miranda warnings and make a statement, then testify at trial and give contradictory testimony, the prosecutor can use your statement to impeach the testimony in court. “It is now irrelevant whether a suspect was cognitively or mentally impaired at the time, they waived their rights as long as police coercion is not involved.” “To exercise your right to remain silent, you are required to speak…..So you need to invoke your right to remain silent in order to prevent your silence from being used against you.” “No one should ever speak to law enforcement without a lawyer. They are not there to help you despite what they might claim. They can lie to you. They can trick you. Do not speak to law enforcement without a lawyer.”  “False confessions of people proven factually innocent by DNA account for 29% of wrongful convictions.” “Miranda is important and necessary. It should be built upon and strengthened, not weakened.” Mentioned Arizona v Miranda 1966 Warren Court Gideon v Wainwright Harry v New York 1971 Rhode Island v Innis 1980 New York v Quarles 1984 Illinois v Perkins 1990 Marilyn v Shatzer 2010 Berghuis v Thompkins 2010 Salinas v Texas 2013 Vega v Tico 2022 Dickerson v United States Map v Ohio Imhoff and Associates California Penal Code 4.22 If you enjoyed this episode of Off The Record  Podcast, make sure to subscribe and drop us a five-star review.

That is hard, as attorneys, to defend against.” “What was, prior to social media, just a high school beef is now being charged criminally as a felony.” “So the rule of thumb that I like to apply to it is, Do not say anything to anyone else on social media that you would not say if a law enforcement officer was standing right next to you in person.” Mentioned Imhoff and Associates California Penal Code 4.22 If you enjoyed this episode of Off The Record  Podcast, make sure to subscribe and drop us a five-star review.
