Colorado‚ which holds the contrary. The Exclusionary Rule applied not only to the Fourth Amendments protections against search and seizures‚ but also to the Fifth Amendments protection against self-incrimination. Miranda v.

Arizona Immigration law The new Arizona law requires immigrants to carry their alien registration documents at all times and requires police to question people if there is reason to suspect they are in the United States illegally. My opinion on the Arizona immigration law is that it’s not a very good idea‚ because I believe it will bring about a lot of issues in the world. It could also be a good thing too.

It’s also important that the suspect be fully aware and full understand his or her rights before the interrogation begins. -WRITTEN AND INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION-METHODS
