Does an officer have the right to question a minor (17) as a suspect for a federal crime without an attorney, parent, or legal guardian present?
I was read my Miranda rights, and held against my will in a police car by an officer. I denied him the right to hand search my phone for evidence, when he said he was taking it without a warrant I denied it again, and said I want to speak to your supervisor, his supervisor backed him up. I then said, I will sit here until I have an attorney, he denied me that right and told me if I did not hand it over I would be arrested on obstruction of justice.
This is in the state of Kansas. I was accused of a crime, and held against my will. The officer DID NOT have a warrant at the time he took my phone. In addition to what was said above, officer was obviously trying to persuade me to say things against my will i.e. frame me/make me slip. Do they have to record the interview? I feel my treatment was unfair, and unjust. I was told I was going to have a "short" talk, and that I was not in trouble, ended up being an hour and a half.
