Miranda Rights


The guideline was "the person in custody must, prior to interrogation, be clearly informed that he has the right to remain silent, and that anything he says will be used against him in court; he must be clearly informed that he has the right to consult with a lawyer and to have the lawyer with him during interrogation, and that, if he is indigent, a lawyer will be appointed to represent him.".
             The Miranda rights have some exceptions to them. It should be noted that the Miranda rights do not apply under the following situations:.
            
             • Questions asked at a crime scene: In the case public safety warrants such action; the police could and usually asks questions before reading the Miranda warning/rights. .
            
             • Any statements volunteered by the suspect at any time: When you voluntarily give investigator information or tell them anything because you feel like it. That information can still be used in the court.
            
             • Questioning of individuals for fact-finding purposes: Almost in the same line as a crime scene investigation. Some information might be needed at that point in time.
            
             • Questioning during an investigatory stop: An example could be getting pulled over and asked if you are carrying a weapon or something in that line. In some cases it is for the officer's protection.
             Some of the exceptions to the Miranda right should not be an exception. I believe that before anyone is questioned, or speaks to an investigator or an arresting officer, they should be aware of their rights. Sometimes people are not aware of their rights and might say things that might not be upheld in the court of law. In other for all information collected by an investigator to be upheld in the court everybody should be read their rights no matter the situation.
             These exceptions are considerable and that they include many situations in which police get important evidence from suspects who are under no legal responsibility to answer questions.
