FAQ

If you are not read a required Miranda warning, we can file a “motion to suppress evidence.” If the judge grants it, any incriminating statements you made after the warning should have been given will be inadmissible.

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.

However, law enforcement does not have to read Miranda rights (also known as “Mirandize”) to you before asking any and every question.

Yes. Usually at the end of a Miranda warning, an officer asks the person if they understand their rights and, if so, are still willing to answer questions. If the person answers yes to both, they've expressly waived (given up) their Miranda rights.

In such cases, a skilled defense lawyer can challenge the admissibility of those statements in court, which is why it is important to understand and exercise your Miranda rights. If the court finds that you did not comprehend the rights, any statements obtained by law enforcement may be inadmissible.

Most Americans do not have a complete understanding of their Miranda rights. In fact, only about 3% are aware of their continuing legal rights. Even those who are able to recall the Miranda warning show misconceptions about its meaning.

In general, Miranda warnings are not required in roadside questioning pursuant to a routine traffic stop. If a suspect is not under arrest, but is deprived of freedom in a significant way, he is in custody.

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.

New York, 445 US 573 (1980) that the Fourth Amendment prohibits police from entering a suspect's home without a warrant. If you voluntarily go to a police station to clear up a misunderstanding, the police aren't required to give you your Miranda warnings.
