Made for TV...
Not everything you watch on TV or in movies is true. Did you know:
Miranda ONLY has to be given if (1) you are in custody, AND (2) you are being questioned?
You can be arrested for OVI/DUI even if you test under the .08 limit?
Juveniles do not have an absolute right to have a parent present during questioning by police or school officials?
Police officers have every right to lie and make false claims to obtain a confession?
Adults are entitled to Jury Trials only if there is a possibility of jail time?
ALL juvenile proceedings are considered civil in nature; therefore, there is no right to a Jury Trial, even if detention is a possible punishment?
As the saying goes, ignorance of the law is not an excuse.
If you find yourself in any sort of criminal or traffic matter, give me a call ASAP!
