Okay, gotcha. But there was a case recently where comments, or statements, not obtained under warrants, were going to be admitted into evidence. So basically now everything said or written everywhere is automatically Miranda-zed way before there is even a crime discovered? Someone surreptitiously reading correspondence or listening to phone calls, was not done with permission, while there was no active investigation. That is eliminating the right to self incrimination, since no one even asked permission for access, not even a judge, isn’t it? Basically police can have statements, without an investigation, and use it against you without the benefit of a lawyer.
Editing to add: That case will certainly be brought to the Supreme Court, so We’ll see how that plays out.
