Like I said though rights that help people live better lives vs taking away rights and writing laws that deny people those rights.
Sure they got things right and wrong. In the end they were still were not caring about any except people like themselves. It's a tough pill for some to swallow, but its true. We can't change that they were that way. That's the way it was at that time.
That we eventually gave those same rights to most people isn't the point.
Look at the proud boys and their ilk complaining about prisons and how they are treated. Think they cared before it happened to them? Of course not.
So another decision is that Miranda doesn't matter anymore. Police don't have read you your rights when the arrest you. Was that a good decision? Some would say no as most people may not know their rights. Some would say yes because they don't want the police being sued.
Personally I think that's a bad decision because it takes away a protection for people. But there are those who will disagree because there was a "legal basis" for it.
As I said, fine line but I will always side with equality and protecting people over "it isn't in there" arguments. Which I know you weren't making but has been made.
Hate to tell you this, but Miranda never said you had to Mirandize someone you arrested. It only applies if you intend to question them after they are in custody.....
