- mistersquid 6y ago> This is extremely specific to jurisdiction; In the US, a person’s rights are NOT specific with regard to jurisdiction. One’s rights are enshrined in what are colloquially referred to as Miranda Rights (issued as a Miranda Warning upon arrest) and they protect all people detained by the police in the US. [0] > You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions. > Anything you say may be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future. > If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish. > If you decide to answer questions now without an attorney present, you will still have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to an attorney. > Knowing and understanding your rights as I have explained them to you, are you willing to answer my questions without an attorney present?

- Retric 6y agoWhile true, only ~1/2 of HN readers are from the US so it’s still very dependent on their actual jurisdiction.
