Miranda Rights are meant to ensure criminal suspects make an informed decision concerning speaking to law enforcement or remaining silent. Police are not legally required to read you Miranda Rights, unless you are in custody and they are questioning you. Therefore, if the police do not ask you questions/interrogate you, then they do not have to read you Miranda.
The issues surrounding Miranda Rights, the admissibility of your statements to police, and the suppression laws related to statements to police are complex and relate to thousands of cases concerning the Fourth Amendment and the Court’s interpretation of the Fourth Amendment. It is essential that you work with an experienced Oklahoma City criminal defense attorney, if you believe your rights were violated or that a suppression issue should determine the outcome of your case. Your Fierce Advocates® at Cannon & Associates have successfully had several client statements suppressed and would be glad to discuss your options with you.
