the daughter of Prospero in the play The Tempest by William Shakespeare. Miranda v. Arizona Miranda Carmen Maria do Carmo Miranda da Cunha Miranda Francisco de
A warning given by a law enforcement officer to criminal suspects in his custody advising them of certain constitutional rights, called their Miranda rights
rights that a citizen must be informed of at the time of arrest (right to remain silent, right to a lawyer, right to a public defender if one cannot afford a private lawyer); statement recited to persons taken into police custody
in the US, the legal rights that a person being arrested by the police must be told about. These include the "right to remain silent" (to not say anything) and the right to get advice from a lawyer. These rights were established by the Miranda decision of the US Supreme Court in 1966, in the case of Miranda v. Arizona
(1966) U.S. Supreme Court decision that specified a code of conduct for police during interrogations of criminal suspects. Miranda established that the police are required to inform arrested persons that they have the right to remain silent, that anything they say may be used against them, and that they have the right to an attorney. The case involved a claim by the plaintiff that the state of Arizona, by obtaining a confession from him without having informed him of his right to have a lawyer present, had violated his rights under the Fifth Amendment regarding self-incrimination. The 5-to-4 decision shocked the law-enforcement community; several later decisions limited the scope of the Miranda safeguards. See also rights of the accused
the rule that police (when interrogating you after an arrest) are obliged to warn you that anything you say may be used as evidence and to read you your constitutional rights (the right to a lawyer and the right to remain silent until advised by a lawyer)
