Crime Control Supreme Court Case Could Void Right to Remain Silent. This article appeared in the Miami Herald on Sunday November 24,2002. The Supreme Court in it’s famous Miranda ruling required police to respect the rights of people that are being questioned; this is the right to remain silent. Officers must make them aware of their rights and allow them to understand that they can refuse to talk. This rule is about to be reconsidered because of the case of a farm worker, by the last name of Martinez, was shot five times in a brief encounter with the police. This man was thought out by the police to be a drug dealer. When he was patted down by the police, and a knife was taken from him he began to run. When the Martinez was finally tacked by the police he began to struggle, revealing the other huge knife he still had in police, right, supreme, man, court, worker, trying, silent, shot, said, ruling, rights, remain, refuse, record, oxnard, officers, miranda, martinez, lawyers, knife, interrogation, farm, coercive, caused, case, began, void, understand, two, tried, trial, times, thought, tape
