what is the JBD rule when it comes to deciding if custody of a child

A

For purposes of custody, we consider the age of child, so long as officers know or should know they are dealing with a child

Q

why was the case where the cop went undercover to ask somone in jail questions not mr violation even tho it was techincally intergation

Lack of coercion because HE DIDN’T KNOW HE WAS TALKING TO COP

Reason (most likely PC) to believe that imminent threat to public saftey and the can get info from who they are speaking to, no need for mw

23

how do the warnings need to be issued

A

24
what happens when suspect invokes right to silence
cease questioning but can reinitiate/begin second separate unrelated integration
25
what happens when perp invokes right to atty
lawyer invocation- cease questioning and cops cant initiate on their own until lawyer comes or suspect reinetates
26
how do you invoke your right to remain silent
must be unambigoulsy invoked; its not self executing so sitting in silence is not enough to invoke
27
what are the two exceptions to the rule that the right to reamin slent must be positvily asserted
Criminal d need not take the stand and assert the privilege at his own trial A witness’ failure to invoke the privialge must be excused where governmental coercion makes his forfeiture of the privilege involuntary
28
when can silence be used against you
Silence pre invocation can be used against a d , but not after
29
how do you invoke your right to counsel
Invocation must be unambiguously and affirmitly requested
30
what does a valid wavier of rights require and how does mrianda address
1. Voluntary -- reading of the rights alleviates coercion 2.knowledge of what it mwans to abandon the rights; did d have all the info he needed; only applies to what he knows as it relates to whats going on in the room
31
how can someone waive their right to consel after they invoked it
if he asks questions about what is goning to ahppen to him; after this tho his rights must be read again before you can resume questioning
32
what if the cops decive the lawyer trying to get in contact w the suspect (moran)
If a suspect has knowingly waived his Miranda rights, officers’ deception of a lawyer seeking to represent the suspect and their refusal to inform the suspect that his family has obtained a lawyer for him do not invalidate the suspect’s Miranda waiver.
33
how does a suspect implicty waive his right to silent even if he doesnt invoke it thomposn -- the case where he was silent up until the cop asked if he prayed to god for forgivness for what he did
If a defendant does not invoke his right to remain silent after fully understanding his Miranda rights, he implicitly waives his Miranda rights by making a voluntary statement to police.
34
what happnes if there is no invocation and the person just remains silent
if there is no invocation→ implied waiver→ police may keep questioning
