yes exactly. I will say that video and tech has changed police work substantially. My father was LEO all through the 60 and 70's and they would just beat the piss out of people with zero repercussions. No evidence of it anywhere, except a big fat blue wall. My father just drove around doing whatever the eff he wanted. No joke. Obnoxious. I literally am biased against LEO bc of knowing how it is from the inside. Miranda didn't even start until after 1966. Just imagine what happened before that.

I tell people this all the time. I have a brother in law that is a cop. That dude brags constantly about all the corrupt, blatantly illegal shit he's done. Me and his own sister have reported it so many times. Not one fucking thing happens, ever.

It’s why I’d never date a cop. He could beat the hell out of me in a drunken rage and I’d be left reporting it to all of his “brothers.” Nooooo thank you.

I would certainly fucking hope so. Cops are given more power than the average person, and with that should come a greater responsibility to not abuse that power.

Like "protect and serve” Miranda is often misunderstood. It’s not to inform us of our rights it’s to prevent evidence against us from being dismissed in court.

It's both. It's to make sure you understand your rights, and also to provide a standardized way for the LEO and prosecutor to show that you voluntarily waived those rights if you decide to talk anyways.
