Isn't this illegal?

I'm sure there's an amendment about that... Let's see... *dredges up the 10th grade*

1. Speech, press, religion, assembly and petition
2. Bear arms
3. No quartering of soldiers in peacetime
4. No unreasonable search/seizures, "just cause"
5. No self-incriminating statements, no double jeopardy
6. Speedy, impartial jury trial
7. Trial by jury for civil suits >$20
8. No excessive bail, no cruel and unusual punishments
9. This list doesn't mean there aren't other rights
10. Rights not covered by the constitution are ceded to the states

I noticed! I noticed! :-)

Seriously. I'd thought it was obvious that I was just listing them all until I found the right one... but apparently not. Oh well. I suppose I am obscure sometimes. And you're no proof that I'm not :)

LOL!

Yeah, I thought that was what you were doing. And it was very interesting, since I only previously knew 1, 2 and 5.

That's all ANYbody knows. Very annoying.

But we can all recite the Miranda Warning:

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say...

In my defence, I don't need to know the ammendments to the American constitution ;0)

You know, US media has so firmly ingrained your version into my head that I simply could not remember what we get (never having had the experience ;0) "You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence is you do not mention when questioned something you later rely on in court."
