Miranda Rights
I was pulled over and after running my name arrested for an outstanding warrant. After being arrested he had asked me if I had been drinking and eventually tested me. At no point in time was I ready my Miranda Rights. Do I still have to have my rights read to me even if I had a warrant out?

Re: Miranda Rights
The police are supposed to read you your rights, but that does not affect the results of the alcohol test. The remedy for failure to read you your rights is to exclude what you may have told the police, not to invalidate the whole arrest.
