A
proposition has been announced recently to help reduce the deficit
and to "Take A Bite Out Of Crime." If
you witness a crime, it is your civic duty to report the crime to
the police. When a crime is committed, you have the right to make a "Citizen's Arrest". Thus, if YOU commit a crime, it would be extremely helpful for you to perform a Citizen's
Self-Arrest. Fill
out the form, to complete your Citizen's Self-Arrest.
Fill out this form, answering all questions completely.
Read
the following statement aloud:
"I am under arrest. I have a right to remain silent. Anything I say
can and will be used against me in a court of law. I have the right to
talk to a lawyer and have him/her present with me while I question
myself. If I cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to
represent me, if I wish one, before I question myself. If I decide to
make a statement, I may stop at any time."
WAIVER:
Do I
understand each of these rights I have just read to myself?
Yes
No
Having these
rights in mind, do I wish to talk to myself now?
Yes
No
(If YES to both, use the space below for your full
confession
or other statement you may wish to make.)

rules:
Do not leave your house. If you are not home now, go home

offshoot of military technology: An entire miniature Bible,
produced by laser microprinting. Place your left hand on the
spot and raise your right hand and say "I swear that all of the
information I have given on this form is true, so help me,
God."
