A police officer who fails to read a defendant his Miranda Rights will have the subsequent confession thrown out on technical grounds.
But there is nothing 'technical' about being given a ticket for breaking the speed limit.
Substantive law and procedural (or 'technical')law are utterly distinct.
One involves an offense. The other does not.
Whitewashing this distinction only serves the purpose of obfuscation.
