Law enforcement officials usually play on our fears whenever their powers are limited, but those limitations are what keep our society from being a police state. The Supreme Court’s ruling in Miranda v.

I’ve seen “You have the right…” on so many TV shows and movies I never once thought about where that right might have come from… history is fun.
