About Miranda Rights
The Miranda rights are a warning that is required to be given by police in the United States to criminal suspects in police custody. They need to be read before a suspect is interrogated to inform them of their constitutional rights. The name "Miranda Rights" came from the U.S. Supreme Court case, Miranda v. Arizona. They decided that an elicited incriminating statement by a suspect will not constitute admissible evidence unless the suspect was informed of the right to decline to make self-incriminatory statements and the right to legal council.
