You probably missed this in THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION

You missed THIS in The Shawshank Redemption. After Andy Dufresne has escaped from prison, the head of the prison guards who tormented him for many years is finally arrested. When Guard Captain Hadley is read his Miranda Rights by the District Attorney, he’s shown reading them off of a piece of paper. The reason the DA still doesn’t have them memorized is because the court case requiring those rights to be explicitly stated, Miranda v Arizona, had just occurred in the same year the scene takes place - 1966.

That’s a really cool detail never noticed it.

What about when Red tells Andy that his trip to the Pacific is just a 'shitty pipe dream'. Then you see how Andy escapes.

It's encouraged and usually mandatory to read the rights off a card. It eliminates the possibility of the case being thrown out for not having read them properly.

My history teacher plays the roll of one of the guards standing next to Clancy Brown. His name is Jon Reed, he’s to the left of Clancy

I didnt notice him reading it off a paper and I've seen this movie, no joke, like 50 times.

I still blows me away knowing Hadley is the voice of Mr Krabs

Most officers read the rights off of a card throughout their entire career. If everytime you read someone their rights you do it off the card that has them written out, it means you will say the exact same thing every time, which means no one will be able to use it as a defense in court.

You don't want someone to get out because you said their rights slightly wrong.

I have been a cop for 28 years and have them memorized but I still read them off of a card. Too many court cases have been lost because a defense attorney challenged the warning on the stand. So, the training is read it from a preprinted card. It isn't laziness, it's smart police work. Additionally, you don't have to be read your Rights per Miranda when you are arrested. It's only if you are going to be asked questions.

Just realized the irony behind them getting Andy to do the taxes and Hadley being played by Klancy Brown (Aka Mr Krabs)

[derfderfson]

Many police services actually require an officer to read miranda rights directly from a card so they can testify to having read a suspect their rights correctly to the word.

I was a kid when I first watched this. But it's not unusual for people to use a card. Memorizing them is not necessarily the best thing to do because you might miss one small detail which makes a big difference.

Literally the greatest movie I have ever seen in my entire life! Everything was absolutely perfect 👍👍

[hhiimmddoo]

Actually we usually do read them regardless just to make sure that the suspect cant say we didn’t. At my department we have rights advisement form that the suspect initials by each right and signs at the bottom and another officer signs as a witness as well

"Hope is a good thing". This is quite possible one of the best movies.

Plus, you're told to read them off the paper and never memorize them so you don't get it wrong.

“I didn’t see it with my own eyes, but I’ve been told that Byron Hadley cried like a little girl whenever they arrested him and took him away….”

[derrick]

"There can be only one! Err...I mean..."you'll never get the secret recipe to me Krabby patties!"

- Guard Captain Hadley

Now that's the kind of detail that makes for a great writer.

[FirstLast-rdhw]

Most law enforcement still read it off a card. It’s only quoted like it’s memorized in movies.

Out of the 7 movies that Frank Darabont has directed, 5 of those were adapted from a Stephen King story including Shawshank and The Green Mile.
