Do You Know Your Constitutional Rights?
-
Fourth Amendment
The Fourth Amendment prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures and provides that the police must have a warrant to invade the sanctity of your home, your personal property, or your body.
-
Fifth Amendment
The Fifth amendment establishes the prohibition against self-incrimination and guarantees you the right to due process of law . THIS IS YOUR RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT. If you choose to remain silent, your silence cannot be used against you as evidence of guilt.
-
Sixth Amendment
The Sixth Amendment protects your rights at trial. The Sixth Amendment guarantees transparency in prosecutions and prohibits the government from secretly prosecuting its citizens for alleged offenses.
-
Eighth Amendment
The Eighth Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. The 8th Amendment also prohibits the court from imposing “excessive” bail.
Expunctions and Nondisclosures
Expunctions were created to allow a fresh start to people who were wrongly arrested or charged with a criminal offense. When an expunction is granted, the person may deny that the arrest ever occurred and all government records of the arrest and subsequent prosecution are wholly destroyed.
Nondisclosures are a second chance. They allow persons who receive deferred adjudication or even in some cases final convictions of a crime to steal their records. When a nondisclosure is granted, records are sealed and may only be used for limited purposes.
