Yes, but it is not so black and white, eventhough you have a right to end an encounter w/ police so long as you are not under arrest (which itself is not as cut and dry as you might think, there is more to it then just being put in handcuffs) you still must comply with police requests for basic...

There are obvious arguments to be made and that is a reasonable one. The point is, that what you say or don't say before you are given your Miranda rights can be used. A good attorney would examine the fatcs and try and formulate the best arguments to do damage control if anything was said that...

1) The Supreme Ct in Jenkins v. Anderson, 447 U.S. 231 (1980) held that pre-miranda silence can be used to impeach a defendant at trial (basically this means that if you didn't stick up for yourself and claim your innocence when you were arrested, the prosecutor can use that against you if you...

The issue is whether the powder meets the federal or a state definition of a steroid. If it meets the definition whether a powder, oil, or cream/transdermal, it is illegal. Hypothetically, powders maybe worse because you could get hit with an intent to manufacter charge.

"In addition, under the "fruit of the poisonous tree" rule, if the police find evidence as a result of an interrogation that violates the Miranda rule, that evidence is also inadmissible at trial. For example, if you tell the police where a weapon is hidden and it turns out that you gave this...
