Article Summary Essay/Rights of Deaf and HoH

             When law enforcement agencies and courts violate the rights of deaf and hard of hearing people occasionally nothing is done to resolve the problem. According to the Americans with Disabilities Act law enforcement agencies and courts are required to provide an interpreter for the deaf and hard of hearing. When they are not provided sometimes people are wrongfully imprisoned and mistreated, but often enough hearing people are too afraid or do not feel that it pertains to them and so nothing is said to aid the deaf or hard of hearing. .
             According to Rights of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Under the ADA law enforcement agencies and courts must accommodate people with disabilities. Law enforcement agencies, as in police officers, are to present deaf and hard of hearing people with a legalized document informing them of their Miranda rights. If the deaf persons reading level is below normal then they must use an interpreter. When a deaf or hard of hearing person is to go to court they must request to have an interpreter before the court date arrives. The courts must provide and pay for a certified interpreter. Family members or friends are not allowed to act as an interpreter for that person. If the courts or law enforcement agencies do not provide these services they are violating the rights of the deaf and hard of hearing people. .
             An article titled The case of Ian Stillman, Deaf Man Wrongfully Accused shows an example of a deaf man whose rights were violated and then was wrongfully imprisoned. Ian Stillman is a British man who has been deaf since the age of two. While in India to explore opportunities for charitable work he was arrested after police found forty-four pounds of marijuana in a taxi he was riding in. During Mr. Stillman's police interrogation he did not have an interpreter. Ten months later at his trial, which was conducted in the Hindi language, he still did not have an interpreter.
