miranda rights
Recently my friend and I were caught shoplifting. We gave back everything that we had took. Then they called the cops and had us arrested. The cops never read us our rights and i was curious if that was legal.
Re: miranda rights
Failure to Mirandize a suspect does not invalidate the arrest. All it does is make the answers to any questions asked while the suspect is in custody inadmissible in court. If the police don't ask any such questions then there is no need to Mirandize at all.
