Re: no Miranda rights read

More | Report Post

I just want to know if the miranda rights have to be read when
the police give you an indictment and you are taken to the
sheriff station and booked? Or when you talk to an officer on
the phone and he talks to you about a case and that phone
converstation is used against you for evidence does he have to
read your rights to you? Please help and soon.
