FAQ

Miranda warnings are not required when the suspect is unaware that they are speaking to a law enforcement officer and gives a voluntary statement.

Nonetheless, there are two exceptions to the required Miranda warnings for an in-custody suspect. The first is called the “rescue doctrine” exception and the second is called the “public safety” exception.

As a way of ensuring you have been informed of your rights, law enforcement is required to read you your Miranda rights at any time you are in custody or being subjected to questioning.

To determine whether a suspect has knowingly and intelligently waived Miranda rights, a court must appraise the “totality of the circumstances” including the suspect's “age, experience, education, background and intelligence” and “whether he has the capacity to understand the warnings given him, the nature of his Fifth ...

Once properly advised of Miranda rights, a suspect may waive them provided the waiver is voluntarily, knowingly and intelligently made.

Strikingly, results showed that although the detective's demeanor had no effect, participants who were truly innocent were significantly more likely to sign a waiver than those who were guilty.

The police are not required to read the Miranda warning any time they question a suspect in connection with a criminal investigation or arrest. Brian Fishman of the Fishman Law Firm, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, explains what you should do if arrested in Pennsylvania.First, invoke your right to remain silent when the police question you about the alleged crime. As long as you only ask questions about the suspects ID or the questions are to investigate a crime, then Miranda is not needed. Law enforcement is not required to read you your rights at the time of your arrest but must do so prior to questioning you. It is considered unlawful for law enforcement to begin an interrogation without first giving the detainee their Miranda warnings. If police question you AFTER arrest without reading your rights to you, the information you provide may be inadmissible as evidence against you. This goes beyond mere casual questioning because you are not free to leave during a custodial interrogation. The ruling in the Miranda case says that these warnings need to be issued after an arrest, but before any questioning can take place. Anything you say can be used against you in a court of law.
