At this stage, you have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. You may not have been read Miranda rights if you were not being taken into custody to be interrogated or put under arrest.Police Are Required to Inform A Defendant as to the Reason for Arrest Before A Defendant Can Waive Their Miranda Rights. Once you're arrested, the police have to provide your Miranda warning, more commonly called Miranda rights. Yes. It is legal to arrest someone, handcuff that person, and take that person to jail without ever reading the Miranda Warning to that person. Such an unlawful arrest for exercising your right to remain silent constitutes a violation of your basic civil rights. Miranda violations, if they exist, make any subsequent statement inadmissible, but dont necessarily invalidate the arrest itself. Finally, many people incorrectly believe that if an officer fails to read you your Miranda rights, then the entire arrest is invalid. However, this is false.
