4th Circuit: Suspect in custody doesn't have to wait until Miranda rights are read for his assertion of the right to remain silent to have full effect (requiring officers to stop the interrogation, or in this case never to start it). ca4.uscourts.gov/opinions/17423…
As I understand the court's opinion, you can assert your Miranda right as soon as you are in custody, but you don't have to wait until you are given warnings or questioned. (This is a question that students often ask about, so good to have a case to cite to them.)
Also interesting that the 4th Circuit has a five-factor test for when an officer's post-invocation conduct sufficiently honors the assertion of the right. (For those who don't know, "five factor test" mostly means "no test at all"). CA4 right to cabin that inquiry more here.

I saw the WWI documentary "They Shall Not Grow Old" today. Really enjoyed it. It tells the story of the typical British soldier on the western front in a remarkable way that really brings it to life. (Short thread.)
It's the visual restoration of the footage that draws you in. And indeed, it's remarkable. Brings the people to life. But it's really in aid of the telling of the story, not the focus.
The narrative consists of recordings of veterans of WWI, recorded in the 50s and 60s, telling the story of their wartime experience. They are heard, never seen, while the original footage is shown. There is no narrator, and no onscreen text to introduce themes or battles.

Here's an interesting example of how courts don't pay enough attention to 4th Amendment cross-enforcement issues: The 3rd Circuit's recent opinion in US v. Osorio, decided 12/20/18. Thread below . . . . www2.ca3.uscourts.gov/opinarch/17313…
Relevant issue in the case: Could municipal officers in Pennsylvania make an arrest on a federal probation warrant? Court says yes, b/c "municipal officers are authorized to execute federal arrest warrants," citing a CA2 and a CA5 case.
But if you look at the two cases, they're precedents saying that *state law* governed whether state officers could execute federal warrants -- based on a reading of US v DiRe and US v. Marsh. In the two states at issue , NY and Florida, state law okay'ed executing fed warrants.

1/ On this observance of Veterans Day, a cautionary tale for those who may receive a phone call from a group asking for money in the name of helping veterans.

While many vets orgs spend a lot of $$ helping vets, a few notably don't. This is a story about the latter.

3/ As @sarahkleiner9 reported then, most of the millions upon millions of dollars these veterans groups were raising went to one of two places: the pockets of telemarketing firms or the pockets of the groups' leader, Brian Arthur Hampton. publicintegrity.org/2017/12/13/213…

I have this "thing". It really bothers me when the people, who are supposed to be served by their representatives over donor money, have documents withheld for a SCOTUS appointment.

So - stay tuned for a big Kavanaugh document dump.
