When Should My Rights Be Read?

The Miranda case and its progeny indicate that the warnings be given when there is �custodial interrogation�. Many times there are no Miranda warnings given by the police because there is no statement taken from the defendant. Good legal advice is to never say anything to the police without first talking to a good criminal lawyer. Otherwise innocent situations can be turned around in a variety of ways putting the police officer�s focus of attention on someone who has done nothing wrong.
