Lanny Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I rarely watch TV, but I turned it on (CNN International) and watched the Press conference, where they announced that they'd failed to find him today and then....... Much activity. The best outcome was if they could capture him alive, and without further bloodshed. And, that's what happened. Very well done. I hope that he will waive his "Miranda Rights", and cooperate, but if not, he has the right to remain silent. They took 3 people into custody, in New Bedford, MA, for questioning about the Boston Marathon Bombing. And, in 2011, the older brother was questioned, by the F.B.I., at the request of "a foreign" government (assume Russia) and then he was released. The "foreign" government thought he might have terrorist ties... Great job by the F.B.I., all other Federal agencies, the MA State Police, and the local police departments in the Metro Boston area.

Joker Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I hope that he will waive his "Miranda Rights", and cooperate, but if not, he has the right to remain silent. The articles I'm reading says that they will use an exception and he will not have his Miranda Rights read to him due to public safety. He will be interrogated as soon as he is able to be. I don't think I've heard of this so if anyone has information, please share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be interrogated as soon as he is able to be. I don't think I've heard of this so if anyone has information, please share. Apparently there is an exception that can be triggered when authorities believe there is imminent danger to the public, such as in cases of terrorism or when national security is at risk. In those cases, they do not have to give Miranda warnings prior to asking questions directly related to neutralizing any imminent threat to public safety. Once they change the scope of their questions, and move beyond questions related to resolving immediate safety concerns to questions designed to elicit incriminating statements, that questioning falls outside of the exception and traditional Miranda rules apply. Here's an explanation of this exception from the FBI: http://www.fbi.gov/s...11/legal_digest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
