"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do may be used against you in a court of law" blah, blah, blah... Cops read off Miranda Rights to you when your arrested but when I make a citizens arrest... what am I supposed to say??? This thought crossed my mind when my step-sister and step-dad were giving me a hard time about having handcuffs hanging from my rearview mirror. 12 years ago my best friend Kurt placed the handcuffs in my truck one day while I was at soccer practice. I cant remember the reason why he gave them to me but they have gone from the Dodge, to the Celica, now in my new Tundra, and will transfer to all future cars I drive! Seriously though, what is one supposed to say when making a citizen arrest? "You are under citizen arrest. Feel free to laugh, joke, complain, but remain calm and try not to hurt yourself trying to get away. The police will be here shortly." LOL!
S/N: Kurt passed away 11 years ago... the handcuffs have sentimental value to them!
a very unusual keepsake.
