They've removed that though. You can be held for long periods of time without the "right to remain silent." Aside from no lawyer present, they can ask you anything they want, say anything they want, and break you down until you tell them what they want to hear. In the one case that went to the SCoC they questioned him for 5 hours even when he asked for a lawyer and asked not to be questioned.
You know, if it's so cut and dry as Naza and Coys seem to indicate, where once you are brought in you must be guilty, then why did that school teacher have to go through a trial for child molestation? In the trial it came out that the video camera of the hallway where it supposedly occurred, the video didn't show anything! Other kids at the school supported him and said that the 2 girls made up the story! Yet he was still arrested and prosecuted. And then found not guilty. [His life is still a mess, but that's another topic]

But hey, why afford him access to a lawyer, and why allow him to remain silent? After all, he was arrested so he must be guilty. And it was child molestation, so that makes it doubleplusgood. Just put him away, because that way other true criminals won't go free, right? Nothing wrong with a few token non-guilty people in jail after all, am I right?
Waza and Coys won't care until it's them in the interrogation room. Then they'll whine how unfair it is. Just like those in Arizona who support the "suspected immigrants must show papers" law. Wait till the police there catch on that if they can't get you on the traffic stop, can't get you on a drug search, but wait, they can get you on..."Hey, you seem suspicious when talking about 'merica! Show me your papers! Oh you don't have anything, well off to jail for the night for you!" Then you'll see the whining.
