Re: Criminal Arrest

What your referring to is Miranda Rights. There is no law that requires them to read your rights. All that Miranda says, is that if they ask you questions, then before your answers are admissible against you in court, then they must have read you your rights. This can be confusing. If you have any other questions you can email me at [email protected]
