Hey, you might think that this info makes me your lawyer, but it doesn't and I'm not. Sorry, but I AM NOT YOUR LAWYER unless we have an engagement agreement. I am just providing public information here, like a library does, and am not providing you with legal advice about your situation. So, it would be totally unreasonable for you to conclude we have an attorney-client relationship just because you're viewing this information.

To answer some questions: Police ONLY have to read you miranda rights when you are 1) In Custody AND 2) Being Questioned! So, if you're in custody and they're not questioning you, they don't have to say them. If you decide to volunteer information in that situation, then it's not a violation of Miranda. Also, custody means a reasonable person would understand they are not free to leave. So, if you're free to leave, then they don't need to read you your Miranda rights.

[@bjs301]

The best advice about citizens' arrests is just don't do it. And that failure to read Miranda rights - if they don't ask you questions, Miranda does not apply. So they arrest you, and knowing you didn't get your rights read, you go bragging to the police about what you did. That's admissible, because they didn't ask any questions.

[@LawByMike]

Agreed!

[@Maninawig]

2 questions: 1.A follow-up to the confidentiality: Say you were trying to understand a law and used a hypothetical talking to your lawyer, is that protected by confidentiality, or could the lawyer report them to the cops? 2. At what time, how, and to whom should you identify any disabilities that would hinder a case?

[@Maninawig]

@jordanrodrigues1279 I can understand that. I was more aiming to understand terms like "reasonable force" to avoid anything that might be deemed excessive. Such as "if someone dug their nails in my shoulder and pulled me back, would it be reasonable if my hand were to hit her in the spin? What if my hand was closed?" (Currently listening to entitled people stories). Or, for contract law, "would replying👍mean I got the contract, or I agree with its unlawful terms?"

[@Dethneko]

So that last one sounds like it's difficult to actually use what you say against you in court (rights read or not), but anything you say can help them to find that other evidence that they CAN use against you in court.

What if the crime is still ongoing like drug trafficking or possession of stolen property? Than can a lawyer keep it a secret?

[@ViolentCabbage-ym7ko]

Only post crimes such as telling your lawyer that you used to sell drugs

[@mdj.6179]

Most police officers seem to like to have the citizen who observed the actual crime to sign a citizen's arrest form. It protects the officer if a claim of improper detainment arises...

[@Rave12612]

And then there is karen trying to put someone under citizens arrest for parking too close to her car

[@nooneyouknow239]

How many people have actually preformed a citizen’s arrest? I’ve never heard of one being preformed successfully or at all really.

[@lone_wolf106]

I think people have restrained violent people who have assaulted or robbed them or someone else. They then keep them restrained until the police arrive. I would call that a citizen’s arrest.

[@og_3rd_st_saint_gat]

I mostly hear that karens use citizens arrest but good thing you can always resist them

[@MrDrumStikz]

Ironically, in NY there is no citizen's arrest, but (at least as far as the WRITTEN law is considered) you can shoot the perpetrator of a violent crime as they run away. Might not hold up under case law, though.

[@kratosorokai1546]

it also aint that great of a thing to do you are putting yourself in harms way without the level of protection a cop has so unless you are sure you can detain the person dont do it

Another thing about citizen's arrest: How does that work with self defence? If some random guy comes at me and grabs me, I usually have every right to defend myself.

If a police officer doesn’t read your rights before putting you into a police car and you make an unprompted statement on the way to the police station, can that be used against you? I know it can be in Canada.

[@LawByMike]

Yes it could, the police need to have you in custody AND be questioning you. If you volunteer information like that, then they didn’t question you and didn’t need to read you your rights

[@lone_wolf106]

Thank you for answering my question. I dated a police officer once, and he told me to just remain silent if I was arrested and call a lawyer. Another quick question, if you remain silent and don’t tell the police you’re exercising you right to remain silent, do the have to do anything to verify you’re competent or do they just assume you’re exercising your rights?

You have that all twist. The lawyer client privilege is only covers crimes that already happened. Not crimes you are going to commit. A lawyer is not like a catholic confessional. Where they are sworn to secrecy. If your lawyer tells you not to go on the stand to testify. If you go against his advise. They can’t stop you. But the judge may listen to your lawyer and stop you.
