Four questions about the Miranda Law change.
Advertisements [?]
First, the police still have to Mirandize the individual before asking questions, right?

Second, it's only AFTER he's been Mirandized that he has to say that he wants to invoke his right to remain silent, correct?

Third, doesn't that mean that the police have to change the Miranda statement to include this new requirement?

and, fourth... how does this affect people who don't understand English? Like, let's say a French tourist?
