do police officers still have to read your Miranda rights?

Answer 1

Yes. But if you are asking this question, you already know your Miranda rights. I think our idiot supreme court made an exception, but don't remember what it was.

And of course the cops can always resort to their old stand-by, lying.

Answer 2

Police are only required to warn an individual whom they intend to subject to custodial interrogation at the police station or when detained. Arrests can occur without questioning and without the Miranda warning — although if the police do change their mind and decide to interrogate the suspect, the warning must be given then.

Answer 3

Not always. Depends on the situation. Miranda is only required in specific situations. For example, If you were arrested for murder - the arresting officer wouldn't have to Mirandize you so long as he didn't ask you any questions about the crime. Even if you told him all the details of the crime - they would be admissible in court so long as he didn't question you about the crime. However, if he asked even a single question without Mirandizing you - everything after that question could likely be tossed.

Answer 4

That depends.

Do they have to read you your rights to talk to you? No. Do they have to read you your rights to ask you questions? No. Do they have to read you your rights to arrest you? No. Do they have to read you your rights when you are arrested? No. Do they have to read you your rights to QUESTION you AFTER you have been ARRESTED? Yes.

The only time when a police officer is legally required to read you your Miranda Rights is AFTER you have been arrested, IF they intent to question you. If you have not been arrested, and they are just asking you questions about something that happened, then they do not have to read you your rights. If you have been arrested and they are not trying to question you, they do not have to read you your rights.

If you have been arrested and the police officer has not read you your rights, then anything he/she learns from that questioning will not be allowed in court. It is possible that the officer may try to lie and say they did, but most interrogations nowadays are recorded, either on video or at least on audio. And many departments require the officer to have a signed statement saying that you have been read your rights, understand them, and choose to talk.

Of course, if you've been arrested, the officer is not questioning you, and you just blurt something out about the crime, you're just screwed. It's called "spontaneous utterance" and will be allowed in court.

Answer 5

once in custody you're examine your rights if you're wondered on something concerning incorrect doing on your section. id information and the requests for that information are literally not secure, you don't desire your rights examine to you merely to get your call/ manage/ etc for a record. An get at the same time; I see you breaking right into a house. I end you and the owner of the abode comes out saying he does no longer recognize you. I arrest you. i'm no longer likely to annoy asking you a lot at that element so I ignore to provide you your rights. (would not really happen because the analyzing is computerized for most police officials, even at the same time as no longer necessary) I ask your call and start date for the arrest record and also you provide it. No rights examine so a options does no longer negate the identity information you gave (no matter if you're needed lower than that call). Later I ask you what different residences you've burglarized, You tell me about 3. That information is ineffective to me for a conviction because i did not recommend you of your rights and also you've been in custody. Now at the same time as searching you as element of the arrest for any contraband i encounter IDs from 3 persons with their addresses. The addresses are checked and they have all been burglarized. i am going to now connect you to those burglaries you stated because i could have realized about your participation besides from the criminal search for. effortless isn't it.

Answer 6

If I intend to ask the person questions then yes,definitely.I ask them to initial the card w/ the time and date on the card.And yes I read from the card every time.Once the card is "dated" by me and the def then I make it part of the paperwork package.If there is Huntley hearing(where a judge decides if the def's statements can be used) then Having the card initialed and dated really helps.

Answer 7

Yes. If you are in custody and/or questioned because you are a suspect, the police must either (1) read your rights; or (2) lie in court and SAY they read you your rights. If the police follow neither option, your statement may not be used against you UNLESS you testify, in which case it becomes admissible as a "previous inconsistent statement."

Answer 8

This is very good. I really haven't thought much about it but on COPS and Dawg the Bounty hunter, they sure don't read your rights most of the time. In fact I've seen people arrested in person where they were cuffed and simply told your coming with me. The police state is becoming more and more active.

Answer 9

Remember custody can mean the mere presence of a police officer. If you feel you are not free to leave and walk away.

Its falls under the fourth amendment.

Answer 10

Yes absolutely
