Mayor JJ,
While downtown at the hardware store I saw an altercation between 6 of our fine City Police officers and a gang of what might have been 1 nigra and 2 messicans who were being arrested for trying to cross the street against the light. Those lights are there for a reason and people have to respect the law, even if that part of downtown is pedestrian only. My issue with the situation was the inordinate length of time the officers had to keep this gang from running riot in a public place. The time consuming part of this arrest was that our officers had to waste time reading these criminals their Miranda rights. if it weren't for this the officers could have swooped in ,en masse of course, given this gang of thugs a quick beat down and had them on the way to the cells in minutes!
my idea is this, could we use a billboard , on the edge of town, print the Miranda in 3 languages and english of course, so everyone entering the city limits will have had their rights presented to them and the process of arresting criminals is one step closer to being done. I think the languages we should place on the billboard are Swahili,Aramaic[ancient Aramaic of course]and Flemish. English translation printed as a citation.
If the billboard idea is not agreeable I might suggest that the Police drive through certain areas and broadcast the Miranda rights over their loudspeakers, in as many languages as you would like, Both of these plans effectively pre-Mirandize the whole lot and one less worry for our officers.
