What are the exact words when a cop reads you your rights?

Answer 1

The only things the Supreme Court requires is letting the suspect know that he has the right to remain silent, that anything he says can be used against him, that he has the right to have an attorney present when being questioned, and if he cannot afford an attorney then one will be provided to him for free. Then the person reading the rights must confirm that the suspect understands the rights.

The Supreme Court has specifically ruled that there are no exact words, phrases, or sentences that must be used.

Some jurisdictions, like the FBI, add in something like, "If you choose to answer my questions, you may stop at anytime and request an attorney." This is completely unnecessary.

Answer 2

1. 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?



The wording is sometimes changed depending on your state but the elements are always the same

Answer 4

It varies by jurisdiction, but it usually goes something like this:

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 an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.

Indiana, New Jersey, Nevada, Oklahoma, and Alaska add the following sentence:

We have no way of giving you a lawyer, but one will be appointed for you, if you wish, if and when you go to court.


New York, Florida, Illinois, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania also add the following questions:

Do you understand the rights I have just read to you? With these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me?
