Are police required to give a translator to someone who does not speak English when they are read their Miranda Rights?

Answered by attorney Cotter C Conway (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Cotter C. Conway
If the police only read the Miranda right admonition in English and not in the native language of the accused, then any statements made during an interrogation should not be admissible at a trial. If an accused does not knowingly waive his right to remain silent (i.e. where he does not understand his rights because of a language barrier), then the use of his subsequent statements would be in violation of his constitutional rights. The police must have provided him with the admonition in his native language before proceeding with an interrogation. Contact me for a free consultation.

Is it possible to have a non-violent federal felony expunged?

Philip Daniel Hache
Answered by attorney Philip Daniel Hache
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Phil Hache
Hi, I specialize in California State expungements not federal expungements, so my answer here is not authority on the matter. At this time, it's my understanding that expungements for federal convictions are for the most part only available if it was a simple possession charge and you were under 21 at the time of your arrest. This is not the case for felony convictions in California State, which I handle. As for Felony expungements, I know Congressman Steve Cohen introduced a bill called "Fresh Start" that if passed would allow for federal expungements in more circumstances. I believe the bill was introduced in June 2010, but I do not think it passed, but I am not sure what the status of the bill is at this point. I am checking in with my local congressman for an update on that bill though, and waiting for a response. Sorry I can not answer your question definitively at this time.

What should I do in this situation since I didn’t get arrested? About how much fine will it cost me?

You should not plead guilty. If you plead guilty, you will have a conviction for theft on your permanent criminal record, and it can never be removed. A theft conviction will prevent you from getting a job, renting an apartment, getting a loan, etc. You definitely need to hire an attorney to represent you to get the theft charge dismissed or reduced to a lesser offense.
