7. Bellairs, Cindy: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. WeÕve all heard the above words numerous times on television and in the movies where most legal troubles are easily handled in an hour or two. Unfortunately, legal problems in the real world are generally not so easy to solve. Many times, they can drag on for months or even years, costing a great deal in both time and money. Obtaining advice from a qualified lawyer at the start of a possible problem usually proves to be much wiser than waiting until you may have a legal mess on your hands.
8. Zaher & Levi: What Happens After An Arrest? The prosecutor attorney must prove that a crime was committed and that you committed it. That may sound pretty cut and dried, but it's not quite that simple. You see, if challenged, the DA also has to show that the arresting officer made the arrest properly . . . that you were properly advised of your rights . . . that any searches of you or your property met constitutional guidelines in every respect . . . that the process used to identify you was done fairly . . . that any scientific tests were accurate and in line with set procedures. And the list goes on. If the DA discovers things which may prove you innocent, a good attorney will make him give you that information. This is also known as "exculpatory evidence". Many "due process" and constitutional arguments can also be made to keep certain evidence that the state may have against you from even being used. Evidence that is not fair to use against you, that violates your legal rights. The bottom line is that you need a Michigan defense lawyer who knows the system and who knows how to use the Constitution for what it was intended - to defend your rights. Now, We can't promise you anything because each case is unique. Maybe there are some things distinctive to your case which are important. And there may be other factors. Either way, an honest lawyer should not guarantee the outcome. It's possible that in some situations you might be better off by making a plea bargain. But in my experience, often the best defense is trial by jury. Bail Hearing The right to bail is not explicitly stated in the Constitution. The 14th Amendment, however, states that an individual may not be deprived of life or liberty without due process of law. The Eighth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution requires that bail not be excessive. This means that bail should not be used to raise money for the government or to punish a person for being suspected of committing a crime. Remember: The purpose of bail is to give an arrested person her freedom until she is convicted of a crime, and the amount of bail must be no more than is reasonably necessary to keep her from fleeing before a case is over. The Bail Hearing is the next step in the legal process after the arrignment. There are some factors that may convince a judge to consider bond release include the following ( please see MCR 6.106(F)(1) You have little or no past criminal record, or any previous criminal problems you had were minor and occurred many years earlier. You have other family members (most likely parents, a spouse or children) living in the community. You have resided in the community for many years. You have a job. You have been charged with previous crimes, but have always appeared as required (in other words, there have been no prior arrest warrants or "failures to appear"). the seriousness of the offense charged, the presence or absence of threats, and the probability of conviction and likely sentence; Under MCR 6.106(D)(2), the court may require the defendant to: (a) make reports to a court agency as are specified by the court or the agency; (b) not use alcohol or illicitly use any controlled substance; (c) participate in a substance abuse testing or monitoring program; (d) participate in a specified treatment program for any physical or mental condition, including substance abuse; (e) comply with restrictions on personal associations, place of residence, place of employment, or travel; (f) surrender driverÕs license or passport; (g) comply with a specified curfew; Bond conditions may be imposed at any time during the pendency of the criminal case. See MCR 6.106(A), (H)(2). The court may apply conditions to all types of bonds, including cash bonds and personal recognizance bonds. MCR 6.106(C)-(E). Doesn't Everyone Have The Right To Bail The right to bail is not explicitly guaranteed by the Federal government. For a defendant charged with any of the following listed offenses, a court may deny pretrial release under MCR 6.106(B)(1)(b) if it finds that proof of guilt is evident or the presumption great, unless it also finds by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant is not likely to flee or present a danger to any other person: First-degree criminal sexual conduct; Armed robbery; or, Kidnapping with the intent to extort money or other valuable thing thereby.
9. William Swor: The United States Supreme Court held in 1966 in the case of Miranda v. Arizona that a person has a right to an attorney during questioning by the police. The basis for this right is the privilege against self-incrimination under the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution.
10. McManus Law: It is important to note that law enforcement officers with a valid legal reason, such as a warrant, have the right to forcibly detain individuals.
11. Charles Rutherford: Driver License Compact The DLC was drafted by the Council of State Governments in 1961. In 1965, the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) began serving as the Secretariat of states that signed the DLC; it has a board composed of representatives from member states. By the mid-1990's 45 states were members of the DLC. The general purpose of the DLC is to provide "greater uniformity among the member jurisdictions when exchanging information with other members on convictions, records, licenses, withdrawals and other data pertinent to the licensing process."
12. Jermaine Wyrick: In 1966, the United States Supreme Court issued its famous "Miranda" ruling regarding self-incriminating statements. The Miranda decision held that when law enforcement takes someone into custody and questions him, they must advise the person regarding his rights, i.e., "Miranda" warnings ("you have the right to remain silent..." etc.). More specifically, the court stated that if the police failed to give such warnings to a detained individual and a confession was given, there was a constitutional violation against the individual's Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. As a result, the police would not be allowed to use the confession in court against that individual.
13. Scott Moore: OPERATING UNDER THE INFLUENCE (OUI) - Operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol (OUI), also known as driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI), driving while intoxicated (DWI), or drunk driving, is an increasingly common social problem in today's world. Throughout the state of Michigan and in all other jurisdictions across the United States, it is considered a serious offense and can lead to severe criminal penalties, including heavy fines, loss of driving privileges, and incarceration. The authorities in many states are currently cracking down on DUI offenses by reducing the blood alcohol content level at which a person can legally operate a motor vehicle. However, knowledgeable legal counsel can help you avoid hefty fines, license suspensions, or large insurance increases.
14. William Maze: Too many attorneys just plead you down to the lesser offense of Driving While Impaired. You can often do that yourself without an attorney, but you shouldn't. It's still a criminal conviction and the penalties are nearly identical. More importantly, it's still a prior conviction for repeat offenders. A third offense is a felony.
15. David Steingold: What if I haven't been read my rights? They do not apply and need not be given unless the police arrest you first, then ask you questions directly. If you are not under arrest at the time you make a confession, your Miranda rights do not apply. If you volunteer information to the police after you have been arrested, but the police are not interrogating you to obtain that information, your Miranda rights do not apply. If you have been read your rights, the law assumes that you paid attention and understood them. So pay attention and exercise your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Do it. Do not respond to police questions about the crime. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed for you. Demand to speak with an attorney if the police try and ask you questions. This is your right.
16. Bussey Law Firm: Traffic violations can have serious criminal consequences, particularly when a driver is accused of driving under the influence (DUI). A conviction on DUI charges will result in fines and possibly land you in jail. In addition, your insurance company may increase your rates to an unmanageable level. In defending against an under the influence or impaired driving charge, you have many rights as a criminal defendant, including the right to cross-examine the witnesses against you, even if they are police officers. An experienced attorney can make all the difference in such a difficult case.
17. Designated Counsel: If you received a traffic ticket (such as for speeding, having defective equipment, OUIL/UBAL, seat belt, DWLS, running a red light, etc.), have been charged with a misdemeanor crime, or are considered to be a suspect in a criminal matter, you need to be advised of what your legal rights and options are.
