On the other hand I'm not sure why people need to be read their rights. That seems such a sporadic occurance when we are read our rights regarding anything. Yeah we sign a lot of stuff that supposedly informs us, but having them read? Why is this the only area?

But we live by legal precedent and I think it fits so good.
