Re: rights
The PO generally read you your rights if they plan to immediately arrest you or if they may possibly arrest you in the future. Never volunteer information to a law enforcement agent unless you have an attorney present.Doing so can lead to future consequences,usually not good.
Re: rights
No, the police don't always read you your rights when under arrest; only if they intend to use your own statement/confession.
Yes, they can tell you you won't be arrested and then arrest you anyway after you give a statement.
