Obviously you should do some research or have some training before you make another uninformed statement.She did not have a 5th Amendment right, if not under Miranda, to talk to the police. She had to give up her license and registration on request. She has to reply to questions in relation to the stop.Her response was to invoke her 5th Amend Rights...I'm a tad conflicted on this one. However I do think she should have complied with a response.
That legally should end any and all conversation.
The very second a Police Officer activates his lights to pull you over, your Amend Rights attach.
The Officer reading your rights is a formality and he can choose when to read them to you, you don't have yo have permission from the Police to exercise your Rights...
She submitted her required documentation upon request and at that point fulfilled her legal obligation.
It's utterly stupid to suggest that she has to answer questions related to the stop and no precedent supports such nonsense.
I just ran a man over in my car a mile back and the police don't know that I did it so they are stopping the nearest car they come across.
In your world, if they ask me was I involved in the hit and run a mile back; I'm obligated to give them a full confession...lol.
No, I said I was a little conflicted on this one. However, I think she should have said something. Even answering the officer's question with a "no" would have been something and probably eliminated the other part. Do I think she should be arrested for not saying anything? Nope...but that doesn't mean she couldn't have just made the whole thing a non-issue by simply answering "no".
So, that's my uninformed opinion.
