What are Miranda Rights?

in #news3 years ago

"Miranda rights are the rights given to people in the United States upon arrest. Anyone who has watched a U.S. detective show or two can rattle off the words: “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law…” The speech must be recited by law enforcement officials when detaining suspects to ensure they are aware of their right to an attorney and against self-incrimination"

"Miranda Rights were created in 1966 as a result of the United States Supreme Court case of Miranda v. Arizona. The Miranda warning is intended to protect the suspect’s Fifth Amendment right to refuse to answer self-incriminating questions.

It is important to note that Miranda rights do not go into effect until after an arrest is made."

"Miranda warnings inform people of their constitutional rights to remain silent and to have a lawyer present during police questioning. Police read Miranda rights after detaining someone but before beginning an interrogation (questioning)."
