Some more of your rights just went down the toilet:
You Don’t Have the Right to Remain Silent
As discussed in Boston bomb investigators kill Florida man the issue of confessions is extremely important.
This is more evidence of how dangerous it is to remove important safeguards in the legal justice system:
"The police didn’t even produce notes. And now that DNA has cleared Yarris, we know his confession was false, and that he must not have volunteered the fact about the car roof at all."
"The Supreme Court’s decision in Salinas encourages the kind of loosey-goosey, and easily contaminated, police questioning that led to Yarris’ wrongful conviction."
Bad enough when they wrongly convict and imprison people. Throw in the governments growing propensity and willingness to execute people without trial and it sets up some frightening scenarios.
