Miranda Rights
Miranda Rights are an important part of the criminal justice system in the United States. They are a set of rights that must be read to a person who is in police custody and is being questioned by law enforcement. The Miranda Rights were established in 1966 by the Supreme Court in the case of Miranda v. Arizona.
The Miranda Rights are designed to protect the rights of individuals who are in police custody. They inform the person of their right to remain silent, their right to an attorney, and their right to have an attorney appointed if they cannot afford one. The Miranda Rights also inform the person that anything they say can be used against them in a court of law.
It is important for individuals to understand their Miranda Rights and to exercise them if they are in police custody. If a person is in police custody and is not read their Miranda Rights, any statements they make may not be admissible in court. This means that the statements cannot be used as evidence against the person in a criminal trial. When talking to the police, you should always be cooperative but minimize any answers you may give. Remember - you are not required to answer questions from law enforcement.
