1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Jason Flamm and I'm the host of Wrongful 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: Conviction with Jason Flamm. 3 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 2: And I'm Robbia Jaudry, attorney and co host of Undisclosed. 4 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:09,959 Speaker 2: We want to talk to you today about your rights 5 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 2: and how they relate to interactions with the police. 6 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: So, Robbie, say, I'm at home and I hear a 7 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: loud banging at the door. The police have announced themselves 8 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: and say they have a warrant. Now, besides quickly throwing 9 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,799 Speaker 1: on some clothes, I might be asleep or whatever, what 10 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: are some of the things that I need to remember 11 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: in order to protect myself in the situation. 12 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 2: Okay, So if the police come to your house, the 13 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 2: first thing you want to do is ask for their names. 14 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 2: Don't just let them walk in. I know too many 15 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 2: people who think that's the right thing to do. Open 16 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 2: the door and let them, And don't ever do that 17 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 2: without seeing a signed warrant either for your arrest or 18 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 2: to search the property. Now, remember, if they have a 19 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,599 Speaker 2: search warrant, they can only search the things that are 20 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 2: limited to whatever is written in the warrant. So make 21 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,639 Speaker 2: sure you read that warrant before they enter, and then 22 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 2: once they enter, always exert your right to remain silent 23 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 2: but quietly observe the search. Just respectfully, stay out of 24 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 2: the way and just watch what they're doing, and then 25 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 2: note down everything in writing afterwards as soon as possible. Now, remember, 26 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 2: please don't need search warrans for items that are in 27 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 2: plain view. So if you have some things that you 28 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 2: wouldn't want cops stumbling over, then maybe keep them out 29 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 2: of sight. If you're being arrested, as always, do not 30 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 2: resist arrest. And if you have been arrested, for the 31 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 2: love of God, ask for an attorney, answer no questions, 32 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 2: and sign nothing. Remember if no one talks, everybody walks, 33 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 2: don't ever be talking cooperating with the police. It can 34 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 2: never help you. They are not your friends. Every single 35 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 2: thing you say and do can and will be held 36 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 2: against you. And if you've been read your Miranda rights, 37 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 2: don't ever wave them. Reaffirm your demand for an attorney 38 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 2: and your right to remain silent. 39 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: I'm going to say it again, do not wave your 40 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: Miranda rights. Eighty five percent of people do, and it's 41 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: always a mistake. It's never a good idea. Don't wave 42 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: your Miranda rights. And remember this could actually save your 43 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: life or save you from an a mountain of trouble that 44 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: we don't want to see you get into. We want 45 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: you to stay safe out there.
