You are learning, but before arrest there's detaining, which can be done with the standard of reasonable suspicion. And can also be done for reasons of scene control and other circumstances that aren't ultimately aiming towards a criminal arrest of the person detained.

I searched your esoteric reference and it seems to be a recent case of a man called Dennis Quinonez? Who had a stolen pistol, and an open warrant. And is accused of attacking feds with rocks and a hammer - so he probably wasn't originally in the car when that happened. And when people get arrested, they don't get arrested with their children. This is the same no matter what inflammatory statements you make about what they look like. If you do something bad, and also have a child, you will be arrested. Your child will not be. Yet thankfully the state will not simply set your 1 year old child immediately free. Put conversely, having children is not a human shield that makes you immune to arrest. To characterize that they "drove away" as though they were carjackers who inadvertently kidnapped a child or something, is just laughable.

Miranda rights apply to criminal arrests. Lack of legal status is not a criminal matter per se. And an arrest memo is not something you show to the person you're arresting to prove you're allowed to arrest them. That's a misunderstanding.

This series of quotes, and the ones above, do not have an obvious reference, do not have a reference provided by you, and return 0 results when string-searched. This makes it difficult to address clearly. To what source are you referring and is it an LLM?

Oh, don't get me wrong, for most of my IT career the companies I worked for were American, and in vast majority of cases the people I interacted with, and it's a lot, since my career path started from the very bottom of Level 1 support I got to talk to hundreds and hundreds of very cool, smart and interesting people. Interestingly, the vast majority of ones who started conversations regarding politics were staunch Republicans.

I can honestly say that if not for a few American bosses who recognized my potential I'd be nowhere close to where I am now, however, in the case of my first American boss, one of the reasons I left that company was that I found out he's a big Trump supporter. He offered me 30 % pay bump, and I was already compensated more then well, but this plus my disagreements with the person who was running his company over here made me not even consider it.

The new one is awesome, tho, despite obviously being very rich, he is a very firm anti-Trump guy and his favorite thing to say about politics is "It's not about left or right, it's about haves and have nots".

If you read a few of my posts about my interactions with a Trump loving colleague over there, you can see that I very much have the ability to get over that and talk and have very productive and respectful relationships at work with those guys.

Anyway, I guess my point is that that I do love America and that's the reason why it makes me so sad to see what it's turning in to.

I fear Mamdani's not even going to get a chance, but what kind of gives me hope is that I was similarly pessimistic about the mayor of our capital who has a similar profile, I thought the criminals from the state government and their criminals allies will crush him, but he's on to his second term, he turned the city slowly around, it operates positively and it's been a joy to see.

Hope the same happens with Mamdani.
