MARJORIE L IIAFEN Mayfield Utah Some detectves the students observed commonly refused the advice given by implying that the suspect had better not exercise his rights or by delivering the warning in a tone indicating that the remarks were simply a formalized meaningless legalism Another finding was that questioning contrary to general police claims actually was necessary — either because of evidence already available or for some other reason — in only 13 per cent of the cases Over-al- l the law students conducted: "Not much has changed after Miranda Despite the dark predictions by the critics of the decision the impact on law enforcement has been The police continue to question small suspects and succeed despite the new con strainte Solemn Devise If the impact small however has been large A Senate judiciary subcommittee recently approved legislation including provisions to undo the Miranda decision and to bar the Supreme Court from reviewing cases In which the highest court in a state rules that a confession was voluntarily given A number of lower courts too seem likely to put a limiting interpretation on the principles set out by the highest court One expert Prof Yale Kamisar of the University of Michigan law school expects many state courts for example to limit application of the Miranda case's requirement anti-cri- - of warnings for "custodial questioning" by police to only those proceedings that actually place in a police station A vigorous critic of some interrogation practices Kamisar also feels that many courts will permit police to use leads and evidence flowing from an invalid confession even though the statement itself may not be Used in court "I do not mean to siay Miranda has had no take effect" says the Tribune: So our ski Mends (and others) from out of state like the friendliness of the state of Utah but dislike the liquor laws we possess7 Other dislikes I hear often is in regards to the influence of the Mormon Church on this state's laws economy philosophy etc But I want to say here and now the Mormon Church does not have enough influence on this state In fact this influence (Mormon) should engross the entire nation This state and the nation would be better morally without liquor beer and tobacco I say remove the profit from these contributors of moral decay and you'll remove the stigma Nationally the gangster element makes the bulk of profit from these items and the huge profits have been transferred into the legitimate enterprises Hence everything we buy now is controlled by the under world Now I ask you "Do we need some good influence throughout the length and breadth of this land to save it from complete moral decay?" F EDFCAPER professor "It has" Suspects Learn Ri Aids Greater awareness by suspects of their rights and knowledge by police that their practices are subject to review are among the gains cited by Kamisar "I do mean to say that Miranda is not nearly enough that the court must move again" he says "The counterforces at play are such that the court must run bard to stand still" His point is that grudging acceptance by police of new standards as shown by the Yale law students' survey lower court interpreta- tion of Supreme Court rulings and congres- sional moves to undo such decisions all put pressure on the justices to go further in new cases just to maintain the balance between police practices and individual rights Some observers expected the Supreme Court to give police more leeway in other areas of investigation once interrogation standards were tightened and some of the court's rulings last term pointed this way If Kamisar's analysis is correct' however those presently working to undo what the court has done may be their own worst enemies and perhaps should fasten their seat belts for decisions to come Interlandi Good Influence Needed Editor Restrictions on law enforcement has been the impact on Capitol Hill - - - - 7'---- -- 011:sticilogsD'' -- --- J p 24 : ProiAlite - - f re 4" i i'' 1 - 1 ik i TV 11l't''1' 4111111-- Jr I 4 I rill— 1: 2 1 ' C- 4 - ! lti116314 et '41D IP - tili 114tagt11111111111 it ' ''' :1:-- - - i : 1 )1 ---zir '0 t wolfs-in- T he re's not much selection for the boys lit Vietnsm Most of 'em say 'rear on earth good will toward men'!" !! 1 |
