I think this deserves it's own thread.
Reuters is reporting on another SCARY 6-3 ruling. SCOTUS has given police immunity for failure to inform suspects or witnesses of their Miranda rights. Now while a Miranda violation still cannot be used in court as evidence, the person abused by that lack of being informed cannot sue the officers or department that did not inform them.
This basically makes Miranda useless. If you cannot hold law enforcement accountable for their abuses then there is no point in having any rights at all and we all must submit to a Orwellian police state.
