Due Process of Law: Crash Course Government and Politics #28

This week Craig is going to continue our discussion of due process. Technically, we started last week with the 4th amendment and search and seizure, but this week we’re going to look at the 5th and 6th amendments and how they ensure a fair trial. We’ll talk about some stuff you tend to hear a lot on tv, like your right to an attorney and a jury of your peers and also terms like “double jeopardy” and “pleading the fifth”. Now, this stuff can get pretty complicated, which is where lawyers come in handy, but it’s important to know your liberties to keep the police and other judicial officers in check.

    That is partly how it works, you can't just walk away, after being told "you are not under arrest" if there is indication a crime was committed or being committed and an officer is conducting an investigation or fact finding. And there is indication you are a participant or witness. You are compelled to stay.

    G'day, Yay Team ! Well, you have the right to represent yourself, but only if you can cope with having a Fool for a client...; on the other hand, the Bench is obliged to intervene and prevent any Self-Represented Litigant, Plaintiff or Defendant, from losing any "otherwise win-able Case" due to their ignorance of the Law..., it makes them look like idiots if they do, when the matter is overturned on a later Appeal... So, you can teach yourself to Fly, if you reckon you have the talent for it...; even in a Courtroom... As to defending yourself at Law by invoking Magic and Divination to establish the Veracity of "Evidence"..., well you can Swear on ANY Religious Tome you might care to bring to Court, it doesn't have to be a Judeo-Christ-Islamic Torah/Bible/Koran..., or you can Affirm to tell Godless Truths by all of Atheism's most sacred Deities... So, feel free to hand up a Grimoire of your Choice for the Bench to examine, before swearing an Oath to Merlin the Magician or the Wiccan Earth-Mother, or whomsoever, and feel free to represent yourself as well...; if you care to try to double up and do both at once then be warned - it's tricky but it can be done..., however if you try to Burn Incense, Cast Bones, Wave Wands, or otherwise perform Magic Divining Rituals in Court, then I prophesy that thou shalt lose that Case, badly, and go down in a shower of Bad Shit for thy troubles and tribulations... ;-p Ciao !

    Crash Course PLEASE CLARIFY!!! Miranda rights only apply if the police are questioning you AFTER an arrest. Police can ask you questions prior to arrest. Upon being arrested AND upon being questioned you shall be advised of your rights. Simple equation (Arrest + Questions = Miranda). Understand the terms "Custodial arrest" and "Consentual contact".

    You can be detained without arrest. When this happens it is often for the purpose of investigation and you can not leave. For instance, if you match the description of a suspect who just committed a robbery only a block away, you can be detained until they can determine if you are the person they are looking for. You are not under arrest, but at no time during this process can you walk away.

    Many states have found and allowed a loophole in the fourteenth and fifth amendments, particularly the "shall not seize property without due process of the law," in the form of Civil Forfeiture. Civil Forfeiture is when the police don't try and accuse you of a crime, they try your property and accuse IT of a crime. All the police need to prove is that the property could of been used, or might in the FUTURE be used in a crime. So, the police find you driving around with a large amount of cash in your trunk (which they found after a drug sniffing dog got false positive on your car for drugs), the police can take your money and then use it to boost their department budgets. It is then up to the person who's property was taken by the police to prove their own property is innocent. While I doubt the constitutionality of the practice, since it is taking your property without due process of law and using your property for public service without just compensation, no one has yer brought an appeal against Civil Forfeiture to the Supreme Court.

    None of this matters if the police aren't educated well enough to know this stuff themselves. Police receive more shooting training than they receive civil rights training. The fact that police can get away with murder also means none of this matters because the police will never be punished for ignoring all your rights.

    +quantumperception You can generally be compelled to give fingerprints anyway (after due process). Miranda protection prevents you from incriminating yourself with your words or actions, whereas fingerprints is treated more like a personal search. That being said; sitting down, shutting up and saying you refuse to answer any questions until you have an attorney is still the best course of action. It's also worth mentioning that these rights tend to provide less protection when there is a clear and immediate threat to the public. If you are asked while you are being arrested where your firearm is, you having just committed an armed robbery; generally you would probably not be protected if you had not been informed that you had the right not to answer, the threat to the public outweighing normal procedures.

    Actually they only need to give you the Miranda Rights before questioning you, not when they first take you into custody. And since many states have you sign a document stating that you understand your rights, and that's hard to do in handcuffs behind your back, it's rare to be told them beforehand. But just because they haven't told you them doesn't mean they don't apply, if you start chatting your head off on the way to the station that can still be used as evidence even though you haven't been read your rights yet.

    So does double jeopardy not apply to things that won't cause you to lose your life or a limb? Like if I committed fraud and they couldn't prove it the first time but then they got more evidence, could they reopen the case? Or is fraud a civil violation?

    What about pleading the 5th, can someone still plead the 5th if connected to a PSC which mimics law enforcement and is fueled mostly by corporate needs not governmental or public service needs?

    This was not very sound legal advice. Whether or not the police must mirandize you is based on very specific circumstances. This is only required if you are in custody and they ask you a specific question about a specific crime. It is possible to be legally arrested and never be read your miranda rights. Also, being arrested and being detained are two different things. If you have been arrested you are going to be charged with a crime. You do not even need to go to jail immediately for a crime that warrants an arrest. Individuals may be released on their own recognizance if they are deemed not to be a flight risk. If you are detained you are still not allowed to leave the officer's presence, but are not necessarily going to be charged with anything. While it is important that we as a society hold law enforcement accountable, the time to do it is not while you individually are the subject of an investigation. Most people are not well educated when it comes to criminal procedure and can get into more trouble than they already are if they try and challenge the police.

    It´s very similar with brazilian´s constitutional laws ... That right is secureted on 5 article on the constitucional text and say same thing. The Only diference is that constitucional law here is very extensive, because talk about so much dateils from policy life. But I think better a no extensive legal topics and subjetive on constitucion, because it would let the state more powerful

    Ok, so how does the appeal process (which could be exercised by either side of a case) interact with the double jeopardy idea? Isn't an appeal in fact a second attempt?

    When my husband filed for a divorce I thought that it would be easier to hire an attorney than to study the law. I was wrong. Attorneys don't have to represent the party's interests and use the entire body of the law to wave the rights of an entitled party. I was successful in firing two attorneys. The first, Bonnie Shields, asked to appoint a guardian ad litem to me - but didn't understand the scheme. She used old and outdated methods. I filed a request to accept her resignation before she filed her motion suggesting that I'm a paranoid schizophrenic and that she is very concerned. Magistrate Moss had Shields dismissed right away. The second attorney asked to move my case to Judge Angela Arkin - who refused to fire him and also appointed a guardian ad litem in unrecorded hearings through misconduct. I filed a request to accept his resignation before the GAL was appointed, again spoiling the scheme. The idea behind the appointment of a GAL is that the attorney can wave the legal entitlements of the party, but the party won't be able to fire them because only the GAL can appeal on her behalf. I now had to study not only statutes, court procedures and Rules of Professional Conduct, but also the Colorado Appeals Rules - and all with a stressful schedule as Judge Arkin was rushing. My husband is allowed to deny the domestic assault of 10/11/13 because the judge prevented me from entering the courtroom as his case was sealed - so I was in fear for my life and too injured to move out of the marital home. Magistrate Moss let me reside there while proceedings are on. I discovered that the West Law Series is extremely easy to understand. There is nothing about the law that is complicated. There is not much left of the law either - each time a judge suspect that the Law of the Land contradicts her kickback and bribe potential she informs a justice. The Court Improvement and other committees immediately pass new court rules and local laws to avert the danger of decreased litigation or pro-se representation. Study C.R.C.P 15(4) (replace the C for Colorado with the first letters of your state). In the case of pro-se litigants the judges don't record hearings and issue fabricated arrest warrants to prevent appeals. Court's clerks are supervised by the judicial district's chief judge and are expected to endorse fraudulent documents. My friends who hired attorneys went down faster and stronger than I did. Going pro-se kept me in the marital house for another year - extremely important considering all the fractures and skeletal injuries from the deniable assault. I also enjoyed the monthly maintenance that Magistrate Moss prescribed and medical care. In the end, Judge Arkin held illegal hearings and did illegal things and I didn't get half of the marital home or half of the marital estate or any financial compensation for my injuries. The attorneys and judge are enjoying these. But I was going to get a lot less if I had not fired Bonnie Shields and Robert Wolf timely. Please write congress - disassemble the judicial branch and save billions weekly on appointments by judges. Why pay billions if they don't uphold the law at all? Replace with DORA regulated magistrates - no judges, no attorney of record and no justices. A more complete plan on my page.
