The police tend to overcharge people when they remain silent. I think it was good on Fred to say nothing. If it wasnt his fault, he can let the lawyers resolve and file lawsuits.
Right - and this is the "legal explanation" from Fred Kerley, Esq? Doctorate of law yeah.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest it was the fact that he was fighting someone in a public place that had more to do with his arrest than "exercising his Miranda Rights", according to him.

Police overcharge everyone, because district attorneys overcharge everyone. District attorneys are rotten little psychopaths, who graduated last in their law school class.
They are herded into bureaucracy, the the bottom rung of all professions. And the ones assigned these petty little scuffles are on the bottomest rung of that. It's standard for them to throw as much of the book as they can at it, and then bargain it down with the defense lawyers. Who, if public, are also bottom rung. These are cynical, mean-hearted people with a chip on their shoulder
If a competent, private defense attorney gets involved, they will just drop the charges, and will never be accountable for initially filing them, however frivolous. Courts almost never punish frivolity.
The laws are deliberately written for maximum redundancy, so that a single act potentially breaks 20 of them at once
Other than track pretty much all I watch is police interactions, traffic stops, and lawyer YouTube channels. Never a bad idea to say nothing legally. Unless you want to get on with your day but it's still up to the cops
Sounds like liberal cop haters making excuses for a criminal lowlife with a history of bad behavior...He's gonna be getting arrested for the rest of his life....watch....
Considering my wife does corporate communications, I'm a firm believer in hiring someone to help you in a situation like this, so I hope he didn't write it. Means he's being smart in dealing with it as it's a serious matter and his career is on the line.
I have one quibble with your statement. He wasn't arrested because he exercised his Miranda rights.
He was arrested because there was a fight at a hotel. A woman told the cop that Fred hit her. The cop asked Fred for his version of events. He exercised his right to remain silent. That doesn't mean the cop has to let him go. Then at that point, it's her version of events (and I think she showed signs of being hit) vs nothing else, so it's logical for the cop to arrest Fred.
He was under arrest when read Miranda rights, so booking was going to happen whether he spoke to them or not. To say he was booked because he asked for an attorney is not accurate.
Don't forget, that is Fred's unsubstantiated version.
And this statement here is almost guaranteed wrong: "I chose not to speak to law enforcement without my attorney, and for that reason alone, I was booked."
... Surprised the cop didn't talk to more witnesses.
What do you expect, Marge, it's Florida!
^This! It’s happening in a sh!thole state what’d you expect? The only state worse than Florida is Texas—no one wants to live in either one of these sh!thole states. People are fleeing them in droves!
Of course he didn't. He has excellent lawyers. That is what lawyers are for. So what is your point.
Regardless of facts the legal system is a game. Those who know how to play are successful.
Here is an example of an outstanding lawyer. Notice how he speaks and the things he says. This is how the game is played. Now in this example it is easy because everything he says is true, but even if otherwise his manner, diction and delivery would remain the same. Enjoy...
He literally just has a bachelor’s degree, and he’s hellbent on undermining due process via constitutionally dubious executive orders and ignoring the judiciary. He’s not lawyer and you’re gullible.

If he paid someone to write this, I hope he didn't pay them very much! "My decision to exercise reman silent until legal counsel was present"
