Question

Do cops have to read you your rights when getting arrested?

Answer 1

yes, the advisement of the Miranda Rights

Answer 2

yes unless you tell them not to or you say you already know your rights

Answer 3

noooooooo, anyone that says differently is not an officer or lawyer, and should turn the TV off.

Answer 4

Not at the "time of arrest"

Yes at the "Time of questioning"

Your right to remain silent has to do with an interrogation so it is not until they start to interrogate you that they have to tell you of that right.

Answer 5

Yes.

Answer 6

No not always.

It depends on what PC you have broken

Answer 7

The last guy was correct.  You do not have to read Miranda rights unless you are being questioned.  If you just start talking and they read you no rights, you are offering up voluntary information, which can be used.

Otherwise, no, while detaining you, you have no rights.

Answer 8

Not at all. For a person's rights (Miranda rights) to be read to them, two (2) things must be met.

1) The person must be under arrest.

2) The person must be questioned.

If you are under arrest, however the officer is not questioning you...he does not need to read you your rights.

Answer 9

nope they don't have to all the time

Answer 10

yes. they are know as the Miranda rights.

Answer 11

No! Ten thousand times NO! Questions and answers like this are exactly why American schools need to at least teach the basics of American Government and the Constitution.

There is no requirement for police to read you your "rights" when you are arrested.

Miranda (rights) come into effect when two conditions are present, you are in custody (not free to leave) AND you are being asked guilt seeking questions. If only one of those are met, Miranda doesn't apply.

Most people go through the entire justice system, arrest, booking, trial, sentencing, without ever being read their rights. Because police do not question them. 75% of my arrests are done without mirandizing anyone.

If police fail to read Miranda when required, they do not get into trouble like someone said. The only thing that happens is that any admissions/confessions are  not admissible in court. Failing to read miranda does not make an arrest invalid, nor does it allow anyone to get off scott free. In fact, Miranda, the person who the court ruling was originally named for, was still convicted and sentenced for several of the crimes he was accused of.

Miranda is a 5th amendment issue and arrests generally are 4th amendment issues. They have NOTHING to do with each other on their own.

Answer 12

i think so. its annoying
