The arresting officer must read you your rights before questioning you and the judge must again read them to you individually or to the courtroom as a whole at your arraignment... homeboy was questioned and BOOKED, for these charges, meaning he was arrested and taken into custody, however, the while this avenue of defense is very persuable, the cop could certainly very easily lie about this and im sure they would. regardless of the video from the squadcar, this could very easily be fabricated,and i would be willing to bet that his report will reflect that he read you your rights at the time of the arrest... my personal advice would be: DO NOT let a public pretender talk you into taking a plea deal, with said deal there is possible jail time, and definately probation, which if youre a human being you are certain to fuck up, resulting in jail sentencing etc. def advise your pd(public pretender) of the lack of miranda rights, and advise that you want to take it to trial, and shoot for a dismissal based on the miranda thing or lack of sufficient incriminating evidence, doesnt matter what they got.... just go down fighting!!
