Prior to 1966, law enforcement could question criminal suspects without their lawyer present and use coercive tactics to get information. The 1966 Miranda v Arizona ruling established that suspects must be informed of their right to legal counsel during questioning about a crime. Police now must read suspects their Miranda rights and get a waiver before questioning, or statements made cannot be used against the suspect. Exceptions to Miranda include general on-scene questioning and public safety questions.

1. Prior to the Miranda v Arizona ruling in 1966, law
Prior to the Miranda v Arizona ruling in 1966, law enforcement could question possible
suspects without their having legal counsel present. They could bully potential suspects,
trick them, and do whatever else they thought was necessary to determine potential
suspects’ involvement in a crime. The Miranda ruling protects people by allowing them to
have legal counsel present when questioned by law enforcement regarding a crime in which
they may or may not have been involved. This is a two-part assignment. Be sure to complete
both parts.InstructionsPart 1In Part 1 of this assignment you are required to write a one- to
two-page narrative in which you: Summarize the Miranda Rule, including examples. Explain
exceptions to the Miranda Rule, including examples. Develop a checklist with a series of
questions to ask when assessing whether or not the Miranda Rule applies (for example, is
your question a general one, such as name and date of birth? Or is it one that could make
them vulnerable to prosecution?). Part 2In Part 2 of this assignment, you are required to
examine the scenarios contained in the Miranda Rule or Exception Template
[DOCX].Note: The first scenario is completed for you as an example to guide your work on
the remaining nine scenarios. For each scenario:Determine for each scenario whether the
Miranda Rule applies or an exception to it is in order. Justify your determinations. Use three
sources to support your writing.Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and
appropriate.Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your
assignment.
