Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in South Carolina

I was arrested for possession of a stolen tag,which I didn't know was stolen because I bought the car from some one off craigslist.When prior to being arrested, the officer told me that I wasn't under arrest and questioned and accused me of stealing the tag.I was booked and wasn't read my Miranda rights. Is this legal?
