Why do criminals have all these const. rights?

What you're forgetting is that tomorrow it could be you.  If you were accused of a crime, should we not give you any rights, just throw you straight in jail?  If you're just referring to people who have been convicted, which rights do you mean?  They don't have many.  You do have to remember that unless they got the death penalty, they are going to return to society some day.  You don't prepare someone for that by putting them in a hole and telling they they're not a citizen anymore.

This is the insanity of giving anyone power.  The American Constitution is meant to restrain the power of the state and the government by protecting individual Rights as sacrosanct and inviolate.  However, too often the government and state have colluded to convince and coerce people into surrendering a Right for a government permit or state-given benefit in the name of greater "security".  This is a form of fraud, and is clearly taking advantage of a electorate that is too stupid, thanks to continually dumbed-down ciriculums, to know better.  There's a sucker born every minute, which means there are billions of them on the face of this globe.

No it's not, if they arrest your they have to read you your rights, and sometimes they do that at court.

I agree , they have done nothing to get those rights , but break our laws . The American citizens have worked to make this country and just because someone sneaks in illegally and take free what we all work so hard for.\n We had to fight to make our country what it is today and if they want what we have then fight for their own country . It's easy to go to another country that has what you want , but it's hard to stand up and fight for freedom in your own country . Make your country better , we have enough problems here .\nIf you work and save for things and someone breaks into your home and starts living with you and taking your things , what would you say ?

I think it is because power and authority corrupts some people. Police officers have a lot of power over citizens and citizens have little recourse if you have no witnesses if a cop does something wrong to you. Many other people have power and authority that abuse it. Politicians, doctors, teachers, military personnel, supervisors, managers, big company CEO's, etc. Just to name a few. That's just the way it is.\n\nThe only way we can protect ourselves, is to protect our rights. Particularly the right to keep and bear arms, the 2nd amendment, ensures that we as Americans can protect the other rights that we have.

The legal system is not solely devoted to protecting individual rights.  It also regulates privileges, agencies, corporations, etc.\n\nWhich right of law-abiding citizens personal peace and security is being violated by the American legal system that you are referring to?  This question is too vague.

Prisoners should have no rights at all.\nThey commited a crime againest society's standards and they should be made to pay in full.\nWhen they get out of prison they could be given an abridged version of rights but should never be given full rights back.\n\nIf you cannot do the time, do not commit the crime.

Without going into great detail, if you listen they say "You have the RIGHT to remain silent"   It's just the that it's their right to not have to say anything.  And when you are being questioned you aren't always a criminal, remember you must be proven guilty, but you are first innocent.  At the time when they are questioning them they are suspects.   Also i'm sure if a suspect didn't want to talk, but was forced to do so, they would make up a lot of junk and waste the polic officers time anyways

Some criminals are innocant so its easy for some, but if their pure criminals, then its really dark for someone to defend against th em.

Your rights are what governments want to give you on a day to day basis. Depends on how much money ya got.

They have the right to privacy and the right to a second chance. But the public refuses to allow them their rights due to ignorance and paranoia. \n\nMaybe you should be asking what rights have been taken from sex offenders.

murders have rights too. But most likely catholics control the courts. they are all sex offenders.
