Miranda Rights

Reading the Miranda Rights to a suspect being taken into custody has been part of law enforcement's protocol since the time when they were created in the 1966 Miranda vs. Arizona trial. Commonly heard on many cliche police shows, the Miranda Rights include 4 declaratory statements, followed by a question that asks if they are understood. With regard to the recent bombing at the Boston Marathon, many people obsess over the trials that these criminals will be a part of, and which punishments they must face. The heartache that Boston experienced shows that many are rooting for harsh punishments of Tsarnaev, however, it has come to the media's attention that some people are outraged that the alleged terrorist was not read his Miranda Rights. Tsarnaev is an American citizen and therefore must be read these rights, unless police officials decide the situation is too dangerous to do so. While many Bostonian's might disregard this small detail in the mix of their anger and passion, the lawyers defending Tsarnaev might be able to use the police's actions, or lack thereof, against them. Our society protects each citizen's rights, almost so much that obvious criminals are released back into the public because of a small mistake made by police. In an effort to protect our constitution, we might be sacrificing the safety of our people.
