Re: Miranda rights

More | Report Post

Police have no obligation to read Miranda rights after
arresting a subject. None.

If they don't, they can't use the subject's statements against
him in court. Thus under current case law, Miranda is merely
an evidentiary rule.

One common technique police use, which is legal under current
case law, is to question a subject in custody without
Mirandizing him, then Mirandize him and ask him the same
questions again.

The first round of statements are not admissable in court.
The second set of statements are.

Because a subject who has not been Mirandized and has
confessed already feels he has confessed, he is often willing
to confess again after being Mirandized.
