Miranda rights  

Définition

  • The Miranda warnings may be the most famous words ever written by the Supreme Court. The first warning is the best known: “You have a right to remain silent.” Police officers addressing a suspect in custody are required to further warn: “Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law; you have a right to a lawyer and to have them present with you during questioning; if you can't afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you.” If a suspect waives these warnings he or she must do it knowingly.
