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.

About Miranda Rights

The Miranda Rights are:

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you. Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you?"
