impounded my evo today
Is " sound device restriction" even an arrestable offense? Were you told what you were bieng arrested for? Also, they must put your car on a truck to impound it, if they can even impound your car for that sound device b.s.
Do some research, than SUE!

I have a feeling your car isnt in the pound and maybe you got scammed. Impound a car for a loud stereo, if this is true, youll get off easy. The judge will eat it up when you go to court. Just call harassment.
yes, id like to know exactly where you got pulled over and arrested. Was this still in Chicago or a suburb of it? Please scan that ticket and make sure all that fun info is on there. This is really ridiculous..i hope it gets resolved in a good manner. maybe you can send this to WGN news, i'd like to see something about it on the news :P
Sorry to hear of your tale. Just to you let you its a common misconception that police have to quote "read you your rights" In fact the State vs. Miranda case was about the use of evidence mainly admissions and resulting trail of evidence obtained. Miranda was not about being arrested or your "rights." The way it works is if they fail to read you your rights then any statments you make can not be used against you at trial and could possibly be supressed.
The reality is that cops have been known to lie both about whether they read you your rights and secondly about what you said. I am not saying that all cops are bad - on teh contary, most do an outsnading job. However there are bad apples.
Your story makes no sense.
You must have had an oustanding warrant or not had your id for them to have arrested you on such a minor violtaion.

dynoflash is correct- in the Miranda vs. Arizona decision, law enforcement is required to read you your Miranda warnings only prior to custodial interrogation. If you were under arrest, and then you were questioned, then the exclusionary rule takes effect and any confessions you make cannot be admitted in a court.
However, keep in mind that if you volunteer information, even if you are under arrest and they have not read you your Miranda warning, those statements can be held against you. It is only when the police use express questions or "equivalent statements which are reasonably likely to elicit an incriminating response, and in fact elicit such a response", you are protected under Miranda.

From an Attorneys perspective, I'm going to raise the B.S. flag on this one too. Although I am not admitted to Illinois so I do not know the laws there precisely, that story sounds as if the police broke several laws and therefor im calling B.S.
