Police are required to read your Miranda Rights after an arrest and before questioning. Contrary to what many believe, you can be arrested, taken to jail, prosecuted, and even convicted without ever hearing a single word about your Miranda rights.Police are not required to read the Miranda warning when you are arrested, but only if they decide to ask you questions after the arrest. Police officers have the right to question you during a search warrant without reading you your Miranda rights while you are cuffed in California. Un-Mirandized statements must generally be kept out of evidence—but there are exceptions. By Janet Portman, Attorney Santa Clara University School of Law. A child 17 years or younger may not be interrogated or waive the Miranda rights until after the child has had a chance to consult with legal counsel. Although an officer should read you your Miranda rights when you are arrested, it is not absolutely necessary as long as you are not questioned about the crime. So, statements you voluntarily provide before any formal arrest may be admissible in court, even without those iconic Miranda rights being read. Beheler, 463 U.S. 1121 (1983)).
