I like to use..........
" The bad news is your under arrest, the good news is I just saved a lot of money by switching to GIECO!!!"
but the Answer your looking for is Miranda Rights. Police do not have to read them to you however, they only have to read them if they are going to ask you questions that may incriminate you.

The Miranda Warning is only required if the following two conditions exist: (1) You are in police custody, AND (2) the police ask questions designed to elicit an incriminating response.
Unfortunately, many people think that the police must provide the Miranda Warning at the time of their arrest. Again, read the first paragraph. If they are not asking you questions pertaining to whether you are guilty or innocent, Miranda does not apply. And, if they did not read the Miranda Warning to you and you confess, that does not mean that your charges will be dropped. It simply means that any statements you made as a result of the questioning cannot be used against you at trial. All other evidence is admissible to prove guilt.

from wikipedia
The Miranda warning is a police warning that is given to criminal suspects in police custody in the United States before they are asked questions relating to the commission of crimes. Police may request biographical information such as name, date of birth and address without reading suspects their Miranda warnings. Compulsory confessions will not constitute admissible evidence unless suspects have been made aware of and waived their "Miranda rights".....
Though every U.S. jurisdiction has its own regulations regarding what, precisely, must be said to a person when they are arrested, the typical warning is as follows:
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, and to have an attorney present during any questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be provided for you at government expense.

miranda rights...
You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions. Do you understand?
2. Anything you do say may be used against you in a court of law. Do you understand?
3. You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future. Do you understand?
4. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish. Do you understand?
5. If you decide to answer questions now without an attorney present you will still have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to an attorney. Do you understand?
6. Knowing and understanding your rights as I have explained them to you, are you willing to answer my questions without an attorney present?

Miranda Rights

The Miranda warning is a police warning that is given to criminal suspects in police custody in the United States before they are asked questions relating to the commission of crimes. Police may request biographical information such as name, date of birth and address without reading suspects their Miranda warnings. Compulsory confessions will not constitute admissible evidence unless suspects have been made aware of and waived their "Miranda rights".
The Miranda warnings were mandated by the 1966 United States Supreme Court decision in the case of Miranda v. Arizona as a means of protecting a criminal suspect's Fifth Amendment right to avoid coercive self-incrimination (see right to silence). However, since its creation by the Warren Court, the Supreme Court has indicated that the Miranda decision imposes "prophylactic" or preventative safeguards rather than protections mandated by the Fifth Amendment privilege.

The Miranda rights. "You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to an attorney, and to have the attorney present before questioning. If you agree to answer questions without an attorney, you may stop at any time, and request an attorney. Do you understand these rights as I have explained them to you? Do you want to answer questions?"

In Canada it is:
Rights to council:
You are under arrest for (offence) It is my duty to inform you that you have the right to retain and instruct council without delay. You have the right to telephone any lawyer you wish. If you are charged with an offence you can apply to the Ontario legal aid plan for assistance ( two 1-800 numbers) can put you in touch with a legal aid duty counsel lawyer for free legal advise right now. Do you understand? Do you wish to call a lawyer?
Caution:
You are being charged with (offence) Do you wish to say anything in answer to the charge you are not obligated to say anything but whatever you say may be given in evidence. Do you understand?

To be honest with you, unless it is a custodial interview then the police do not have to say anything to you when you are arrested.
Remember unless they are asking you questions and you can not leave is the only time the have to read you your Miranda Warnings.
Unless it is a Traffic Offense like a DUI then they do not have to read you anything.
