Ruling permits lawsuits for Miranda violations
LOS ANGELES - Police officers can be
sued for discouraging suspects from
calling an attorney after they have been
advised of their Miranda rights, a federal
appellate court ruled Monday.
"Officers who intentionally violate the
rights protected by Miranda
must - expect to have to defend themselves
in civil actions," said the decision from
the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San
Francisco.

suspects they have a right to remain
silent and to an attorney.
