Accurate, up to date answers please.
If you don't know what is said in real life (cos you haven't been arrested recently) but know what they say on The Bill, this will do instead.

UK Only: I am arresting you for *********. You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything yu say may be given in evidence.

They don't HAVE to say anything immediatey, as long as they've made it clear the person is being arrested. They SHOULD give the reason why the person is being arrested and the caution "You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence" etc. etc. However they only have to do so when it is practicable to do it. E.g. if they're struggling on the ground with a violent/uncompliant prisoner, they don't have to tell that person any more than they're being arrested (although if they're struggling, they've probably already been told!!!). When the person is more calm and able to actually hear what is being said is always a good time. Hope this helps.

The only thing a peace officer is required to say is to advise the arrestee that he is being arrested and the nature of the charge. People who say that an arrestee must be advised of his Miranda rights have been watching too much tv. According to the Supreme court, the only time that an arrestee must be advised of his 5th Amendment Right against self incrimination is when an in custody interrogation is about to occur. Police Departments will often have an in house policy requiring the Miranda warning at the time of arrest, however, this is not a legal precedent.

100% genuine answer. If someone is arrested you MUST state the reason why they have been arrested and then the Caution.....You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you say may be given in evidence. I thaught of a lot of stupid answers but you've already got some.

Actually, all these answers are wrong. An officer will say " I am arresting you for ( or on suspicion of ) ...................... You don't have to say anything but it may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned, something you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be taken down and given in evidence." All this right to remain silent crap..... too much Americana!

the basic is [ you have the right to remain silent anything you do say will be taken down and used in the court as evidence you have the right to speak to a solicitor if you do not have one the court can appoint you one ] but in some cases the reason for been arrested has to be stated
