When Do the Police Have to Read Me My Rights?
Your "rights," otherwise known as the Miranda warnings, are a list of
statements that law enforcement must recite to you before they can
conduct a custodial interrogation. While the exact
wording differs between jurisdictions, the warnings generally state as
follows: You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to have
an attorney present. If you can’t afford an attorney, you will be
provided one by the government. Anything you say can be used against you
in court.
Every state requires police to give the warnings in some form after taking a suspect into custody.
