Instructions
The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution is a very powerful amendment. Cases have been heard at the Supreme Court level regarding violations by police, law enforcement, and other judicial organizations against individuals. In the Miranda v. Arizona ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that any individual taken into custody for interrogation must be read his or her Miranda rights. The Miranda rights that must be read by law enforcement state: "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 provided for you," (MirandaWarning.org, n.d.).
Choose a recent case (from 1990 to the present) which discussed the Miranda rights in which the court dismissed or rejected the case. Explain why the case was dismissed or rejected. Does this case have a historical precedence? Finally, identify whether you believe this case had a positive or negative impact on society.
