If you go to google scholar, you will find an option called "case law". That is precedences, yes? American law students doing phDs, do so by studying case law, yes? Making their work as relevant as the actual law.

This is where your system differs massively from ours, where laws themselves are studied and interpreted by Nestors.

@Zuluzeit exactly since the legislature's of any state are the creators of law. It clearly in the u.s. constitution

I think we should have a lawyer to supervise this discussion. I am trying to think of one.

Lmao

@Doc clearly now i understand that you aren't from U.S. I thought you were. Because when in grade school you had a class called social studies and this was all explained there. But they have discontinued it today

I just don't get the part where you question what the law is, require citations, get spoon fed more law than any human being should be subjected to, and still object.

@Maw that deals with individuals not groups or whole States

@mtpockets59 I am not. So I stand corrected. The american legal system is not one of precedence?

Groups and states are composed of individuals.

Details

@Maw but "Laws" are not made specific individuals or groups . They are remedies for issues. By the legislature's that are elected by the people.

well, if The american legal system is not precedence based, is Miranda rights based on a law signed by president Miranda?

This is legislation. I'm so confused.

Miranda rights is legislation...is there a Miranda law?

I am confused now too.

I thought Miranda rights came from a court ruling and the academic understanding of the transfer-ability(?) of that ruling.

making those works extremely relevant in a traffic stop and DWI.

Miranda stole that election btw. It's weird that they named it using her first name though.

And yet people still don't practice their 5th amendment rights sadly.

@Maw, you just advanced to level 6!

Discretionary silence is useful in many areas, I reckon.

Miranda was his last name by the way.

Not. My. President.

@Maw lol I know what it was. I was playing around with something Doc said about President Miranda.

I was so confused. lol

It's still early.

Hahaha I get it, man.

My fault for partially reading conversations tbh

Bad habit.

I do it with articles people post all the time too. Lol

Some of them I can only skim, to keep my lunch down.

@Zuluzeit For the record, I am not under the impression that Miranda was a president. I was just deducting that he would have to have been, if the actual laws are the only relevant piece of legislation.

Either that, or I am a moron trying to cover up the latter fact.

Well he was stabbed to death after getting into a fight at a bar.

Spectacular lives often have spectacular ends.

Bleeding out is not painful, so in retrospect, not the worst of endings.

I propose a toast to the flippant and spectacular mr. Miranda.

Hahahaha
