A Plus should keep his mouth shut otherwise the. FBI will add him as an accomplice. Go and display your stupidty in Parliament.
HOW CAN YOU ARREST SOMEONE YOU DONT HAVE ANY REASONS FOR HIS ARREST AND STAND TO ASK THE PERSON THE JOB HE DOES. BEFORE YOU ARREST SOMEONE YOU MUST HAVE THE FACTS AND REASONS
Who actually made this funny clown a member of parliament of Ghana?
Looking for USA visa for friends and family what else
Question: WHat work do you do
Answer: Transaction
Kwasia you go talk true, you deliberately chop people money free now you sit there and and say transaction. You go smell pepper!!!
A-Plus should shut up.
Abu Trica equally had the right to remain silent.
Stop insulting A-Plus and deal with the issue raised. You cannot extract information from a suspect under duress.
The guy is in hand cuffs and you ask him such questions. Don't you people know that his lawyer can use it a ...

You're wrong. Why is a thief who's caught red handed and sent to court still asked whether he's guilty or not - meaning do you agree that you stole what you're in court for or you don't agree. Remember I said "caught RED HAND ...

A plus is right. Some of you are stupid. You're more interested in expressing your stupid opinions as opposed to keeping an open mind, and a chance to learn. This is a US case. If this arrest had happened even in US, Trica wo ...

Kwaku Tsin or whatever you call yourself; stop throwing dust in the eyes of the public. Trica had the right to answer or not but he didn’t have to insist on having his lawyer around. Are you saying that of the police ask i ...

The moment a suspect asks for a lawyer all questioning must. You can't question a suspect if he expressly asks for a lawyer, anything information gathered in the absence of a lawyer is inadmissible in court, unless the suspec ...

@Jimbo.. Yes, Mr Twum Barimah will lose the opportunity of using Trica's words against him in court if he did not first read him his rights. A proper way of doing this is, you advise him of his rights them you ask him your qu ...

Comot for there with your ignorance... You don't know anything...
If the police ask for your name , you have your right to refuse to answer idiot!
Maybe it is you who is. Let the police arrest you in the US and refuse to answer a simple question of your profession. You dummy!.
Police have the right to seek your identity but they can't ask you about your occupation taxes etc its none of their business the police if you have a problem arrest me or speak to my lawyer...
Idiot.. It is not against the law to plead for the 5th amendment (right against self-incrimination) and ask for a layer.
@Imani You may live in the US but have still not learnt. Learn oh learn. Aaah ba.
Learn learn learn.
You are misinformed. Asking his occupation falls under the Muniz exception. If you are a lawyer, you need to study harder to stop failing your clients.

You are confused. The right to remain silent supersedes your assertion. The right to remain silent does not mean the request for the information sought is forever out of bounds. It simply means the suspect will only answer th ...

Practice law in the USA for 20 years like I did then get back to me. Better yet, have an educated adult read and explain the Muniz decision to you since you are stubborn and stupid.

What law is he talking about. Does he recognized the pain and suffering those scammed victims are going through. Being an MP dies not mean you can just open your mouth!
Odwan, A-Plus just quoted the law. A charge pending court is not a conviction. He is innocent until proven guilty. Until then his civil rights are protected.
He can be questioned but has the right to remain silet. Simple as that.
Listen to the video again. He told Twum he has informed the first interrogator what his position on that question was. Twum Barimah then tells Abu that he Twum was not there and he needs to answer the question. Then Abu says ...

A constitutional right needs to be exercised by affirmative action. ie refuse to answer and state the reason to be your constitutional right will be infringed. The guy didn’t do any of this, but was merely being evasive.
You are 100% right. I'm a lawyer and don't mind A plus and others who are supporting this moron with stupid comments.
If you are indeed a lawyer, then you need to go back to school. This a US case. read about "Miranda rights" and come again. Stop misinforming people. You are not a lawyer.
A Plus is a criminal and I have no doubt that he would take up or support his criminal fellas! Hard to believe that Kwame Criminal is now representing the people of Gomoa in Ghana Parliament! Good luck to Gomoa!!
Mr Too known A-Plus. Instead of condemning the menance of fraud these young ones are engaging in, all you care about is self praise to wind cheap points. so every one would say ei A-plus is so smart abi. Kwasea man like you
A Plus might be a beneficiary form Abu Trica. He might be be on his pay roll.
A Plus is an opportunistic human being.

A-Plus is exhibiting his parliamentary knowledge outside the house itself.

The NDC are full of Incompetent and negative people, why appoint such a person who doesn't guide what he says as NACOC boss, prepare your evidence and take him to court don't ask him unnecessary questions.
He probably funded his campaign with the evil money!
Maybe, he is a quack lawyer consumed by power.
The law is not necessary in certain things. You need the law to answer you do? My friend spare our ears.
A-plus is wrong here that’s the officer job to force the suspect to admit to something, it’s up to the suspect to refuse to answer to any questions and ask for his lawyers, so my friend you are wrong
PROTOCOL LAWYER
He probably went to the law school on the Protocol list.
Is a plus an accomplice? Why is he behaving like a lawyer?
A plus is absolutely correct. I was rather surprised that an official would behave in such a manner. He needs to apologise to the public for his unprofessional behaviour. The law must be seen to work at ALL times.
stupid ghanaian mp surpporting fruadsters.this can happen only in ghana. THe FBI should question him also.

A Plus is correct on his observation. The arresting officer's line of questioning was wrong. He was virtually forcing Abu Trica to incriminate himself.
Most of Ghanaians degree holders must be thoroughly scrutinized. Lawyers and judges are a disgrace to the nation.
We have foolishly given to the Americans Abu trika when are we getting ken Ofori Atta the scammer as returns to justice
