Imagine I am on vacation in India when I get into fight with another female. We are both drunk and things get physical quickly, and before you know it we are throwing punches back and forth. The cops arrive and break up our fight and as we are separated I see that I have broken her nose and jaw. As I am put into handcuffs, a million thoughts run through my mind. What is going to happen to me? Is being arrested in a foreign country different than in the United States? Will I get an English translator? Am I going to be charged with battery? What are my rights? All of these questions are things I would want to know if I were to ever be arrested in a foreign country. In India, whether or not you are an Indian citizen, when you are arrested you should be read your rights by local law enforcement. Under the Indian Constitution you have certain rights as a human being …show more content…
At the arraignment, a judge will tell me what the official charges brought up against me are. In this case, battery is a misdemeanor. In an article about Indian criminal law called What to do when you are Arrested, “if you are charged with a misdemeanor, you can plead guilty or not guilty at the arraignment.” Then, if the charges are not dropped, I follow the arraignment with a trail held in municipal court. While I wait for my trial to occur, I may or may not have a set bail to get me out of jail. Even though I am not a U.S. citizen, the Indian Constitution gives me the right to bail just like any other person. However, according to the Indian Corporate Counsel Association, “while dealing with the legality or otherwise of the said legal proceeding against sureties, an observation was made by Hon'ble Supreme Court that while granting bail to the accused foreign national, the Court could have imposed the condition to surrender his passport as a measure to prevent him to escape out of
If a police officer fails to advise a suspect of their rights, they may still arrest the individual.
As Canadians, a portion of our rights that are read to us upon arrest are as follows: "It is my duty to inform you that you have the right to retain and instruct counsel in private without delay, You may call any lawyer you want.....You have the right to a reasonable opportunity to contact counsel. I am not obligated to take a statement from you or ask you to participate in any process which could provide incriminating evidence until you are certain about whether you want to exercise this right (Griffiths, 2011)
Discuss the legal implications of the term in custody. If a person is in custody, under arrest, the police have to read them the Miranda Rights, especially if they want to question them and use it as evidence in their trial. If the person is not in custody, under arrest, the Miranda warning is not required and information the person gives will be used in a trial if the person is charged with the crime committed. In custody is usually ...
“I do not believe that many American citizens . . . really wanted to create such immense human suffering . . . in the name of battling illegal immigration” (Carr 70). For hundreds of years, there has been illegal immigration starting from slavery, voluntary taking others from different countries to work in different parts of the world, to one of the most popular- Mexican immigration to the United States. Mexican immigration has been said to be one of the most common immigration acts in the world. Although the high demand to keep immigrants away from crossing the border, Mexicans that have immigrated to the U.S have made an impact on the American culture because of their self sacrifices on the aspiration to cross over. Then conditions
What does this mean to you? Well if you are ever arrested for being suspected of a crime, the police are legally obligated to advise you of your Miranda rights. If they do not do this and they start to ask you questions, and interrogate you, then anything you say cannot be used against you in court, and you could have the charges dropped. The police are not supposed to question you at all unless you have been read your Miranda rights and you then waive those rights. You can waive your rights either verbally tell the officer you waive your rights, or by signing a rights waiver form.
Immigration has played a major role in the economy of the United States, creating both deficits and surpluses in the U.S. economy. Arguments have been made that immigration brings more negative effects to the United States economy than it does positive, whereas on the other hand, people claim that immigrants have taken a major weight of the economy of the U.S. and has even allowed the economy to make significant growths. Considering the fact that the total accountable population of the U.S. is said to be made up of approximately 13% of immigrants, many arguments have been made for and against the entrance of immigrants into the United States. Immigration has effects upon the work force, the living conditions, the poverty rates, and other contributing
As a result of the Miranda case, all persons detained by the police should be informed of four things before being questioned:
“You are in America, speak English.” As a young child hearing these words, it did not only confuse me but it also made me question my belonging in a foreign country. As a child I struggled with my self-image; Not being Hispanic enough because of my physical appearance and not being welcomed enough in the community I have tried so hard to integrate myself with. Being an immigrant with immigrant parents forces you to view life differently. It drives you to work harder or to change the status quo for the preconceived notion someone else created on a mass of people. Coming to America filled me with anxiety, excitement, and even an unexpected wave of fear.
There are several arguments that I would make to support my thesis which are strong and well-supported. One argument is that just because people are doing bad things in the world does not mean immigrants should not be welcomed into the United States. Not all immigrants are terrorists, there are cruel people all over the world, not only in a specific country. There has been a lot going on between Isis and America in the past few months but that does not mean punish every immigrant for something someone did. "The U.S. federal government should implement whatever procedures are necessary to deny entry to anyone with terrorist connections, a criminal record, or any other ties that would indicate a potential to commit terrorist acts." This will
The Miranda rights are the certain rights a suspect has when taken into custody. The Miranda Rights include: the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney, anything you say can and will be used in a court of law. The Miranda rights were established after the Supreme Court case called Miranda v. Arizona. Ernesto Miranda was under questioning by police and he confessed that he kidnapped and assaulted a woman. Ernesto was convicted of the crime in court because of his confession.
Immigration is something that has been going on for decades. People immigrating to the United States are coming with the intentions of working for a better future. These people can come from Africa, Mexico, Europe, Afghanistan, Colombia, and many other countries all over the world. Instead of kicking these immigrants out of our country, we should give them the chance to prove themselves to the Americans that they are here to do better in life. Not by any means should we let just anyone come, but those who come looking for a better life and are willing to follow the rules should be given a chance.
The largest immigrant population in the world has been known to seek plenty of refuge, here in the United States. Although America is only the third most populated country in the world, we are known to be the “most populated” simply because of the growing amount of immigrants that come yearly. The immigration policy that is maintained here in the United States has always been a very argumentative topic. There is plenty to say on the mere and obvious differences in cultural lifestyles and issues, however it is arguable to say that the effects of the economy and immigration are quite easy to understand. Through analyzation of an economic perspective, there has been little to no support that is behind the notion that arrivals of immigrants and their labor practices have had a deliberate and harsh impact on the jobs that are available for Americans. My argument, along with further economic theory predictions and academic
America claims to be a country of rights, freedoms, and equality, yet none are really granted. The right to pursue happiness that America so loudly advertises is a lie, if everyone truly had the right to pursue what makes them happy there would not be transgender people being beaten half to death for being who they are, or gay men being assaulted and ceaselessly harassed for who they love. If this country truly acted upon what it preaches then maybe it would be the great nation it claims to be.
Illegal immigration is getting into a foreign country without the required authentication or living beyond the period speculated within the authentication document. The world as a whole is facing a challenge on how to handle the cases of immigration. The latest development in immigration cases is what is currently happening in the Mediterranean Sea where Africans are migrating into Europe illegally. This paper will, however, not look into the case in Europe but rather what is happening in America at the moment. The paper will analyze immigration in America, why people immigrate to America and how the challenge can be mitigated without causing a lot of harm to the society. This paper will, therefore, take a keen interest what is happening on the America-Mexico border.
There is nothing quite like traveling, going someplace new and finding out more about the world and yourself. Anyone can become a traveler it just takes a little bit of faith and courage. Traveling across the world or even across the country is a learning experience. When you are a traveler you see how people live and how different cultures work. It is the best educational experience you could give yourself. You see how the world works in a way no one can teach you. Seeing different cultures and people help build the person you want to be. If you are a traveler the world influences you, because when traveling, you see the good and the bad, and you learn from the right and the wrong. I am very lucky that I am able to be a traveler and see this
