Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

The article itself didn't do a good job of explaining, but judges can punish the prosecution for false arrests. There are several issues.
The state claims he wasn't detained, he voluntarily presented a fake ID, and then they arrested him for that. Later they held him for murder. That's their claim... The defense is saying no, they detained him first (i.e., for murder), and he unwillingly gave them a fake ID and spoke to them.
One possible outcome: The judge sides with the prosecution that he wasn't detained at first.
Another possible outcome: The judge sides with the defense and says that the prosecution needs to justify the initial detention, because the fake ID happened later. Then presumably the prosecution says that the cops were arresting him for murder. If they had probable cause or an arrest warrant, they could do that. So they'll have to show evidence of that in court. If they can't, then probably anything he said will be thrown out (no Miranda) and any evidence seized from his backpack will be inadmissible in any court case (unlawful search and seizure). Even if they can, then anything he said will still be thrown out (no Miranda).
There are some less likely outcomes as well, if somehow the defense could show that the pigs were acting with malice or something, but based on what we've seen so far, let's suppose one of the above is what usually happens in situations like this. And usually the judge sides with the prosecutors.
looks like they are trying to find something charge him with,anything.
Didn't the Supreme Court decision on Miranda come out before this? So him not having his rights read doesn't matter?
