Objection. Motion to strike.

Mr. Ramirez was told...

he was not under arrest

and was interrogated...

without his Miranda warning,

yet he was refused use of the bathroom.

That's a violation of civil rights.

Um, it wasn't an interrogation.

It was an interview.

Overruled.

If a cop hauls you in

and says you can't use the bathroom...

- then you're being detained.

- We're moving on.

What was he supposed to do,

pee himself?

- You can address this at trial.

- I would like to address it now.

- I'm just saying we have a real...

- Mr. Israel.

Did you hear what I said?

If...

armed guards

in this courtroom detained you...

and would not allow you

to use the bathroom...

you would be detained. What is good

for the goose is good for the gander.

I'm gonna hold you in contempt

if you pursue this.

With respect, you're asking me

to obey an erroneous court decision.

You tell me to wait.

In my experience...

Okay.

Find you in contempt.

Is there anything else

you'd like to add before I set fine?

I told

you to just get cont/nuances.

I'm filing an appeal.

Five thousand dollars?

Well...

"I wouldn't trust a lawyer

that didn't get complaints...

from the prosecution or the court."

Who said that?

- I have no idea.

- William.

I can always count on you to say

the utterly inappropriate thing.

I'm with Lynn now.

She's very upset about it.

How is he?

It's not good. They're still running tests.

All right, I'll come over to the hospital.

Don't. He's not even in his room.

You understand?

- Yeah.

- What's that?

Well, Lynn says we'll talk about it

tomorrow, Roman. Good night.

This is

the Los Angeles Police Department...

- Noise Enforcement Team.

Please leave your name,

contact telephone number...

and a Noise Enforcement officer will contact you...

as soon as possible.

Thank you, and have a nice day.

Yes. My name is Roman J. Israel,

Esquire.

I'd like to report a construction-noise

violation, 570 Gladys Avenue.

That's G-L-A-D-Y-S Avenue,

Los Angeles.

City regulation 5612 prohibits

construction...

mend/or repair of any kind...

between the hours of 7 p.m.

until 7 a.m. the following morning.

Thank you.
