  1. It is very simple. "You are under arrest".

    Miranda Rights are read ONLY if you you are going to question the person about the crime.

    All other information like full name, address, date of birth can be asked without Miranda.

    Any statements can be documented that are related to the crime even if questions are not asked and Miranda is not read. More often than not the person knows what they are being arrested for, however if they ask you of course advise them.


  2. One peep and I'll bash yo' haid.

  3. Your going to play volleyball!

    Your going to buy Bubba some candy!

    get your *** on the ground!

    Will you please turn around so I may cuff you.


  4. Boo is absolutely correct.  Miranda rights are not always given to arrestees.  Miranda rights are only required to be given if a person is in custody and being interrogated.  The arrestee is informed of the charge(s) that he/she is being charged with.  The arrestee is then booked in the jail of the county where he/she is arrested.

  5. It depends on what is happening.  If the guy is being arrested on a warrant, the charges of the warrant will be read to the defendant.  Such as: I am placing you under arrest for the crime of _______.  Then, if the defendant is questioned or the police intend to question the defendant then they are read their Miranda Rights.  Because there is no national police force, save for federal departments like the FBI, the actual saying will vary from department to department.

    However, the general gist of what is read is something along the lines of 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 have an attorney present during questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you."

    Some agencies may add additional lines such as: "If you choose to answer questions, you may at anytime choose to stop answering questions."


  6. Put your hands behind your back.


  7. Your under arrest for the crime of xxxxxx, you have the right to remain silent, you have the right to counsel, do you wish to enforce your rights or do you want to say something, remember anything you do say may be used in a court of law against you.

  8. up agaist the wall M....... F ...... !

  9. You can forget all that stuff about Miranda - these warnings are given but only when the police are really interested in the arrestee's giving a statement and have given up on his just volunteering a statement spontanepusly.  The Miranda rules only prohibit the courts from later using statements made by a defendant 1) in custody and 2) made as a result for an interrogation.  Polcie officers hesitate to use the rule because it puts a suspect on notice that his staements are wanted and that what he could say could be used against him.  If he volunteers the info, the cops can use it againsthim whether he was warned or not (under these circumstances, they may want ot give him the warnings even after he's made his inital statement in order to get a more concrete statement afterwards - and they'd need to warn him then).

    The problem with the name thing is that even after a case has been completed, it's unclear if we've got the real name - soemtimes you've got a guy with a dozen names, the names can be excusable variations on a single name (Johnson, Johnston) or too disticnt (Jefferson, Galaceeicz) or obviously signs of playing fast and loose by the arrested person (I used Johnson in '98 because that's my mother's name; I was riased by my grandfather Jefferson so I sued that when pulled over for that gun in '01, and my real name is Galacewicz so I used that last week).

    Another problem with telling them what the crime under suspicion is that it may be wrong.  The ultimate charged offense will likely be elevated or reduced between prosecution and arrest - sometimes dramatically - this happens all the time in cases such as Domestic Violence (arrested on a simple assault, the defedndant later finds he;s arrested for a host of offenses stemming from a history of abuse), sexual abuse, robbery, theft or burglary (arrested for one, the cops find that the pattern fits a number of similar open cases) or firearms possession (a routine ballistics exam links the gun to some unsolved homicides).  Nobody really wants this warning because it not only fails to tell the defendant what he's looking at, each side has its reasons for staying mum.  Defense attorneys don't want the police shocking their clients with overly bleak assessements of the charges they face (we've nabbed you because we've got evidence linking you to a dozen burglaries - they might have evidence that could do that, but only enough to go forward on several).  And cops don't want that because they may see it as tantamount to showing their hand (what if there are more crimes out there that the cops haven;t gotten to - better stay safe and silent).

    Cops don't have to really say anything - just how their shield.

  10. 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 have an attorney present during questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you

    They are called Miranda rights

  11. They tell you that you are under arrest for what ever they are going to charge you with.  they do not have to read your Miranda rights unless they are going to be questioning you.  

  12. Most officers I have dealt with in my time as a police dispatcher just say "You're under arrest" they don't read Miranda Rights unless they are questioning them about a crime.

  13. for my people, get out the car, get on the floor. then all else occurs.

  14. It's been said a hundred times, but this might give a little more insight:

    "You are under arrest." is a phrase that US police may use when they are taking custody of a person whom they have probable cause to believe has committed a crime.

    The Miranda rights actually stem from Miranda v. Arizona (case law) in which an offender was not given his rights during questioning. The Supreme court ruled that all individuals that are going to be asked ACCUSATORY questions must be "Mirandized". For instance: if you ask someone, "Who drove that stolen car?" it is not an accusatory question, but if you ask someone, "Did you drive that stolen car?" then you have accused them of posession of stolen property (MV). This kind of question would require miranda rights to be read.

    Very simply, our supreme court has not placed any meaning on words when adopting policies of arrest. The ruling says that anytime an individual submits to your authority you have detained them, which in all actuality amounts to an arrest. So...."STOP! POLICE!" is very much the same as "You are under arrest."

    No one listens to either......


  15. you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used in the Court of law. You have the right to an attorney, if you cannot afford an attorney one will be appointed by the court of law, do you understand these rights?

  16. You are told what crime you are being arrested for and read your rights, which include the right to remain silent and to have an attorney present for all questions, and that if you can't afford an attorney that you will be assigned one.

    Basically the same as in Britain.  

  17. at thtis time you are under arrest, anything you say or do can be used against you in the court of law, you do have the right to remain silent. knowing these rights do you wish to speak to us now.
