Lawyer arrested for advising stranger of his constitutional rights awarded $43,000

“Lawyer Daniel Zettler says that during a boat race in 2011 in Salida, he shouted to a man who was being detained by officers, ‘Don’t forget your constitutional right to remain silent.’   Zettler says one officer arrested him on a charge of obstructing a police officer. The Salida Municipal Court later dismissed the charge. Zettler had argued he had a First Amendment right to advise the detained man.  Zettler’s attorney David Lane says the settlement money was paid Wednesday.”
