Vega V. Tekoh
''Vega v. Tekoh'', 597 U.S. 134 (2022), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held, 6–3, that an officer's failure to read ''Miranda'' warnings to a suspect in custody does not alone provide basis for a claim of civil liability under Section 1983 of United States Code. In the case, the Court reviewed its previous holding of ''Miranda v. Arizona'' (1966) to determine whether respondent Carlos Vega violated plaintiff Terence Tekoh's constitutional rights by failing to read Tekoh his ''Miranda'' rights prior to interrogation. Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the six-justice majority that Tekoh's Fifth Amendment rights were not violated, as ''Miranda'' rights are "not themselves rights protected by the Constitution." Background In the United States, ''Miranda'' warnings were established from the Supreme Court case ''Miranda v. Arizona'' and upheld in ''Dickerson v. United States'', establishing that under the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution, ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Prophylactic Rule
A prophylactic rule is a judicially crafted rule that protects a constitutional right, by providing consequences for violations of that right, in order to safeguard that constitutional right or improve detection of violations of that right. In United States law, an example is the case of ''Miranda v. Arizona'', which adopted a prophylactic rule ("Miranda warnings") to protect the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. The exclusionary rule, which restricts admissibility of evidence in court, is also sometimes considered to be a prophylactic rule. The notion of prophylactic rules is controversial. U.S. Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas have argued against them, writing that the ability of judges to create these rules "is an immense and frightening antidemocratic power, and it does not exist."''Dickerson v. United States''530 U.S. 428(2000) (dissenting opinion). See also *Implied powers *Judicial activism Judicial activism is a judicial ...
