An Amendment to Protect Our Rights (BOR.XIII)
BE IT ENACTED BY THE STATE OF FIRESTONE CONGRESS HERE ASSEMBLED THAT:
SECTION 1. Section XIII of the Firestone Bill of Rights currently states:
“In order for testimony provided by any person against themselves while they are detained by law enforcement or any other individual to be admissible as evidence in a court of law, they must first be read the Miranda Rights. The Miranda Rights are merely a summary of some sections of the Bill of Rights, not legal text to be interpreted by their own merit. The Miranda Rights are as follows: ‘You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you’.”
SECTION 2. Section XIII of the Firestone Bill of Rights shall be amended to state:
“In order for testimony provided by any person against themselves while they are detained or under the process of being questioned as a suspect in a criminal investigation by law enforcement or any other individual to be admissible as evidence in a court of law, they must first be read the Miranda Rights. The Miranda Rights are merely a summary of some sections of the Bill of Rights, not legal text to be interpreted by their own merit. The Miranda Rights are as follows: ‘You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you.’ The Miranda Rights do not need to be read precisely as written, as long as it can be reasonably shown that each point is clearly mentioned.”
