FAQ
No, you cannot sue for no Miranda warning. You don't have a right to a Miranda warning. If you did, then maybe you might have a Sec. 1983 claim for no advisement. Instead, your remedy for no Miranda warning is suppression of incriminating statements made while you were under arrest.
Miranda warnings are not required when the suspect is unaware that they are speaking to a law enforcement officer and gives a voluntary statement.
However, law enforcement does not have to read Miranda rights (also known as “Mirandize”) to you before asking any and every question.
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.
Miranda warnings are not required when the suspect is unaware that they are speaking to a law enforcement officer and gives a voluntary statement.
Three exceptions to the exclusionary rule are "attenuation of the taint," "independent source," and "inevitable discovery."
The three exceptions are known as the “impeachment exception,” the “emergency exception” (also known as the “public safety exception”), and the “routine booking exception.” We begin with impeachment.
An exception to the right against self-incrimination in court applies if prosecutors have granted the person immunity from prosecution. The Supreme Court has held that the immunity provisions of federal law offer the same protections as the Fifth Amendment.
