Question

Imagine an officer approaches a group of students for being at a public park after curfew. The officer arrests one teen who was a suspect in a local theft. A judge could throw out the teen's confession unless the officer complies with the ruling in?

Answer 1

A judge could throw out the teen's confession unless the officer complies with the ruling in Miranda versus the State of Arizona.

Explanation:

• The Miranda versus the State of Arizona ruling specifies that though it is necessary that the defendant should be given the idea of the rights that he/she has as a defendant before taking him/her into custody and before interrogating him/her, in some instances, the actions taken by the officers cannot be deemed as a violation of the rights that the defendant has.
• In the given case, it would seem that the rights of the defendant have been violated. But it has been already specified that the defendant was a suspect in a local theft.
