What is the set of rights that must be read to suspects before questioning?

Miranda Rights are the specific set of rights that law enforcement must read to suspects before they can be questioned while in custody. This requirement stems from the landmark Supreme Court case Miranda v. Arizona (1966), which determined that the Fifth Amendment protects against self-incrimination. The rights include informing the suspect of their right to remain silent and their right to an attorney, ensuring that any statements made during interrogation are voluntary and informed. Without these warnings, any statements made by the suspect may not be admissible in court. This process is crucial for protecting an individual’s legal rights during police interrogations, thus reinforcing the importance of due process in the justice system.
