[Vision2020] Searching house by house in Boston

 I remember hearing about the terrorist's rights being not read/read on the
news... Pardon my C&P. Some of these facts were swimming around in my head,
but to get them right, I had to look it up.

**

*Police can use statements defendants made without getting Mirandized if
they need to question a suspect in order to protect the public's safety*, the
Supreme Court ruled in
1984.<http://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/467/649/case.html>

In October 2010, the FBI issued a
guidance<http://www.justice.gov/oip/docs/ag-memo-miranda-rights.pdf>for
how to apply this "public safety exemption" to terrorism suspects. The
memo noted that "an arrest of an operational terrorist may warrant
significantly more public safety interrogation" than ordinary criminal
cases.

While that guidance would seem to apply to the Boston marathon suspect, the
decision not to Mirandize him right away has spurred a debate over the
rights of terrorism suspects.

Anthony D. Romero, who heads the American Civil Liberties Union, told The
New York Times
<http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/21/us/a-debate-over-delaying-suspects-miranda-rights.html>the
FBI should only be questioning the non-Mirandized Tsarnaev about imminent
threats like other bombs that might be planted.

“The public safety exception to Miranda should be a narrow and limited one,
and it would be wholly inappropriate and unconstitutional to use it to
create the case against the suspect,” Romero told The Times.
