Mirandize

Read a random definition: vi laica amovenda

A quick definition of Mirandize:

Term: Mirandize

Definition: Mirandize means to tell someone who is being questioned by the police about their rights. These rights include the right to remain silent, the right to have a lawyer present during questioning, and the right to have a lawyer appointed if they cannot afford one. This is important because it helps protect people's rights when they are being questioned by the police. However, a recent court case called Vega v. Tekoh changed the consequences for police officers who do not Mirandize someone. They now have qualified immunity, which means they cannot be sued for violating someone's Miranda rights.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Mirandize refers to the act of reading or reciting a Miranda warning. The Miranda warning is a statement that informs a person of their rights when they are being arrested or questioned by the police. The requirement to give Miranda warnings came from the Supreme Court decision, Miranda v. Arizona, 384 US 436 (1966). In Miranda, the Court held that a defendant cannot be questioned by police in the context of a custodial interrogation until the defendant is made aware of the right to remain silent, the right to consult with an attorney and have the attorney present during questioning, and the right to have an attorney appointed if indigent.

For example, if a police officer arrests someone and wants to question them about a crime, they must first Mirandize the person by reading them their rights. The officer might say something like, "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you."

Note the changes to Miranda warning consequences in Vega v. Tekoh. In Vega v. Tekoh (2022) the Supreme Court held that violating Miranda Rights does not provide a basis for a § 1983 claim. Meaning, officers who fail to Mirandize individuals prior to an interrogation have qualified immunity.

Going to law school with you is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary

Man, there is this girl I visit every month at this one restaurant who I used to go skinny dipping with naked like @ararara always talked about in San Diego. We randomly reconnected like two months ago at this place she works at and we talk a lot about John Steinbeck books. If I don't visit her this month, she might be sad. However, this is my first day not sick and I worry about getting her sick and I am broke. What should I do LSD?
