Marine detained for Facebook posts: 'It made me scared for my country' — RT

“The idea that a man can be snatched out of his property without being read his rights, I think should be very alarming to all Americans,” Raub says in an interview this week conducted by his attorney, the Rutherford Institute’s John Whitehead.

Raub claims that he handled the entire incident pretty well, even though authorities never read him his rights or charged him with a crime; instead he was detained under a civil commitment statute that his attorney says whisks away hundreds of thousands of Americans every year in episodes just like this one that rarely go recognized in the media.

“I’m pretty tough so I roll with the punches,” Raub insists. Others, however, might not be so understanding if they’re put in his shoes, he says.

“It made me scared for my country,” Raub says to Whitehead, adding that only a few years after volunteering himself to protect the United States, recent events like the one he had to encounter himself have made him question a government he gave his life too.

Combat veterans are "problematic", if not outright potential domestic terrorist "persons of interest" if they disagree with current administration policy.

Not disagreeing on the problem of just arresting people with no indication of a crime and the like, but out of curiousity:

Do the police actually have to read you your rights upon arrest? I thought that was only about evidence in court, rather than making the arrest 'more illegal' or however the article implies it.

If the subject/suspects confesses to a crime or if the police are about to question him.

I don't see how the police can arrest you without giving you the Miranda rights. Does anyone remember Miranda v. Arizona from high school civics?

Although it's probably different for civil authorities, that's how it is for the military...until the subject becomes a suspect.

Anytime you're being arrested and taken into custody, the police have to read you your Miranda rights. It's absolutely crucial before they try to interview or ask you any questions (when in custody).

This article does a good job of breaking it down.
