Understanding Miranda Warnings Hardly week goes by without a client asking me if their case can be dismissed because the police officers did not give them their Miranda warnings. Let me see if I can clear up any confusion. According to the United States Supreme Court landmark decision, Miranda warnings have to do with someone exercising their right to remain silent, and the right counsel when in police custody. The Miranda warnings basically say, “you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say, will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to counsel." In other words, if someone is not interrogated after being taken into custody, Miranda doesn’t apply. If you or someone you know, has been interrogated by the police after being taken to custody, those statements may be subject to suppression under the Fourth Amendment. If you were someone you know would like to discuss this further with me please give me a call.
