You have the right to remain silent

In the United States, the Miranda warning or famously "You have the right to remain silent" is a type of notification customarily given by police to criminal suspects in police custody (or in a custodial interrogation) advising them of their right to silence and, in effect, protection from self-incrimination; that is, their right to refuse to answer questions or provide information to law enforcement or other officials. These rights are often referred to as Miranda rights. The purpose of such notification is to preserve the admissibility of their statements made during custodial interrogation in later criminal proceedings. The Miranda warning is part of a preventive criminal procedure rule that law enforcement are required to administer to protect an individual who is in custody and subject to direct questioning or its functional equivalent from a violation of their Fifth Amendment right against compelled self-incrimination. In Miranda v. Arizona, the Supreme Court held that the admission of an elicited incriminating statement by a suspect not informed of these rights violates the Fifth Amendment and the Sixth Amendment right to counsel, through the incorporation of these rights into state law. Thus, if law enforcement officials decline to offer a Miranda warning to an individual in their custody, they may interrogate that person and act upon the knowledge gained, but may not ordinarily use that person's statements as evidence against them in a criminal trial.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in court. You have the right to talk to a lawyer for advice before we ask you any questions. You have the right to have a lawyer with you during questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish. If you decide to answer questions now without a lawyer present, you have the right to stop answering at any time.

I mean, it's not like you have an American company very publicly manufacturing a mental illness around the guy who created AI (also very publicly) because you didn't think he could do it so you tried make a mockery of hym live streaming him while he poops and doing the weaponized schizophrenia he described to hym in a very public way! So why are we on a human rights watchlist though?"

The Right Way

Is it stealing someone else's work and making them work for you for free?

Hym "What is the right way? Getting paid to watch UFC fights for free? How about letting a mental retard pay you to let him steal intellectual property? Ignoring the guy telling you your kids are about to get shot in the face if you don't contact HYM and to something about this immediately? What is it Mike? What's the right way? Succeeding in a way that doesn't radically undermine the success and masculinity of people who haven't actually done anything of substance? Nah. Fuck you. I'm IN THE RIGHT. So you don't get to tell me anything. You need to get off you high-horse... Get on your hands and knees... And eat that fucking crow before you, LIKE THE PEOPLE WHO SUFFERED BECAUSE AND ONLY BECAUSE YOU IGNORED ME, lose everything. You are letting people who are mentally retarded make decisions that they have no business making and now you are trying to slow roll the remediation of YOUR mistake. And I'm nor paying for it. I'm not dying for your sins this time incest freak."
