The Miranda Rights are a series of statements that must be read to a suspect by law enforcement before any custodial interrogation takes place. These rights were established by the Supreme Court in the 1966 case Miranda v. Arizona, in which the Court ruled that the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination required law enforcement to inform suspects of their rights. The Miranda Rights include the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney, and the warning that anything the suspect says can be used against them in court. These rights are intended to protect the suspect's constitutional rights during the interrogation process. Failure to read a suspect their Miranda Rights can result in any statements made during the interrogation being inadmissible in court. It is important for individuals to be aware of their rights and to assert them if they are under arrest or being questioned by law enforcement. Understanding the Miranda Rights can help protect individuals from self-incrimination and ensure a fair legal process.
