Miranda v. Arizona (1966)

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Miranda v. Arizona (1966) requires police to inform suspects in custody of their rights, including silence and counsel, before interrogation.

Show

The familiar warning exists because the Court tied station-house questioning to the Fifth Amendment.

Watch for

The warning protects the use of statements — an unwarned statement is generally excluded, not the arrest voided.
