EUobserver / Brussels wants US-style 'Miranda rights' across Europe

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - We have all watched American police or legal dramas - whether in the original version or dubbed or subtitled - and we are all familiar with and could probably recite the warning a police officer gives to a suspect as he is being handcuffed.

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law," the cop says to the villain. "You have the right to speak to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you?"



Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
