Any time anyone is arrested they are given that right to have a lawyer. There are no state or federal laws that says anyone who is arrested for DUI cannot have a lawyer. That is a violation of Constitutional rights. That is part of the Miranda rights. You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to HAVE A LAWYER PRESENT DURING ANY QUESTIONING. The Miranda rights came out of a US Supreme Court ruling.. So don't quote something when you don't know the law or federal court rulings as well the US Supreme Court rulings on these matters. By the police saying you don't have a right for a lawyer, just gave cause to the defence attorney to get the arrest and charges tossed on violation of 6th Constitutional violation and she was not read her Mirada rights and she will have a federal lawsuit on constitutional violations rights.

I would love to see the deposition of her lawyer asking them questions about how she's not entitled to a lawyer or how they came to the conclusion that she was involved in a hit & run This was all about power of authority.

They HAD footage AVAILABLE, yes. But as the video showed when the officer was there, he likely didn't ask for long enough back to prove that she drove it there and did not come back to it; Or when the person vandalized it. They probably just looked JUST far enough to potentially see if, at the time of the hit and run, it was present in the lot. Because she parked close to the entrance, and the camera DID pan, that particular time stamp likely wasn't viewing the spot she was in, and could not prove if she was already parked, or had left/returned, or just pulled in post-hit-and-run. It would have been much further back, that proved her car was vandalized, based on the time stamps.

Blacks have been telling the public how deadly wicked law inforcement was for centuries. Yesterday's slave catchers are the cops of today(less deadly), funny we're all in agreement now that it's filmed repeatedly. Yet blacks are still overpoliced, arrested & killed though innocent, atleast 5x as much as the majority community. Cop audit videos still garner more outcry than innocent blacks of all ages loosing their lives behind gun happy cops. The only reason George Floyd hit so hard is because everyone was home behind Covid shutdown. So his murder was seen on a loop in slow motion. Humanity, a humane response was finally shown by the majority of Americans. But far too many young blacks have died worst deaths before & since, that have gone ignored. America will only be as strong as its most oppressed or victimized citizenry. Imagine how honorable officers would be today if over 160 plus years ago, its most ignored, abused, ostracized & aggressively controlled citizens would have been given an ounce of EMPATHY from their fellow citizens. Yet the majority mass response was of aloofness and/or the dismissive blame of practiced privelage from those who benefited from its SUPREMACY🤨

Slightly incorrect. While she is allowed to speak to a lawyer at any time (because she is allowed to speak to anyone at any time), the gov't is not required to stop questioning you and get your lawyer to you unless you are first under arrest AND then you demand your lawyer after arrest. Judges have declared that demanding a lawyer during a detention is meaningless. This is why cops will usually wait to move to an arrest... cause they are given much more leeway to question people during an investigatory stop before the arrest. They want to keep you 'merely detained' for as long as possible so they can keep questioning you as long as possible. Sadly this incident is much more egregious than people think, and NOT for the lawyer angle. Cops have ZERO requirement to do any investigation before an arrest. Yes you read that correctly. Once they feel that have Probable Cause they can make the arrest and then stop investigating and gathering evidence. When this lady sued over this incident the Judge declared that cops are not required to investigate her story to see if her alibi was valid and to prove she was innocent before arresting her, therefore her arrest was legal (according to the judge). They had their "albeit made up in their heads' story that she was a hit and run driver and the judge said that was perfectly reasonable to assume that bazsed on the evidence before them and the cops have no obligation to verify her side of things.

Houston Division case: Not until shortly after Petitioner filed in the Supreme Court did Petitioner discover the obscure artifice used by the district judge to justify pretending that Petitioner is a resident of the geographic area in which the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division is authorized to exercise jurisdiction: the District of Columbia. You did not misunderstand the previous sentence. The only geographic area in which any contemporary United States District Court in America has jurisdiction is the District of Columbia. Petitioner had the Houston Division case won following Petitioner’s initial March 19, 2014, motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction (Houston Docket #18)-because there was no evidence in the record that Petitioner was a resident of the only statutory “State” of the statutory “United States” whose residents are liable to tax under Title 26 U.S.C.: the District of Columbia. The judge stacked the deck against Petitioner by commanding sua sponte[4] the DOJ attorney to file in the record what the judge would use sub silentio[5] to justify pretending that he was authorized to treat Petitioner as a resident of the District of Columbia: one of Petitioner’s tax returns. Courtesy of Congress, the filing of a tax return is one of an indefinite number of undefined “acts or statements” that purportedly prove “a definite intention to acquire residence in the [statutory] United States” (26 C.F.R. 1.871-4(c)(2)(iii)), i.e., the District of Columbia. In combination with legally defective congressional legislation at 26 U.S.C. 6013(g) and (h), actors in government pretend that the filing of a tax return constitutes one’s voluntary election (choice) to be treated as a resident of the District of Columbia, and thereafter pretend that they are authorized to treat the filer as such without disclosing what they are doing.
