With a failure to read Miranda rights, your civil rights are violated. Many people believe that if they are arrested and not read their rights, they have no recourse. When the police fail to read you your Miranda rights, your civil rights have been violated, and contact Conlogue Law LLP.
What Are Your Miranda Rights?
Your Miranda rights (from the U.S. Supreme Court’s Miranda v. Arizona decision), require that officers let you know of certain facts after your arrest, before questioning you. An officer who is going to ask you questions you must state that:
- You have the right to remain silent.
- If you do say anything, it can be used against you in a court of law.
- You have the right to have a lawyer present during any questioning.
- If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you if you so desire.
When There Is A Failure To Read Miranda Rights
It doesn’t matter whether police question you in a jail, at the scene of a crime, on a busy downtown street, or the middle of an open field. If a you are in custody (deprived of your freedom of action in any significant way), the police must read your Miranda rights if they want to ask you questions.
