>The Supreme Court did not specify the exact wording to be used when informing a suspect of his or her rights. However, they did set down a set of guidelines which must be followed. The ruling states:
...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 an attorney and to have that attorney present during interrogation, and that, if he is indigent, an attorney will be provided at no cost to represent him.
As a result, American English has acquired the verb Mirandize, meaning to read to a suspect his or her Miranda rights (when that suspect is taken into custody for the purpose of interrogation).
You do not necessarily need to be read your Miranda Rights. For example a cop doesnt need to state them in order to ask you your name, address ect. Anything they are asking you that could be used in a court against you means they would have to read your miranda rights to you. The other thing is if you make a voluntary statement like " aha yes i did it" that is almost always admissible in court. You made a statement, they didnt ask. Man i love this stuff, carry on.

> Hey any time I see someone getting arrested on TV they are read their rights, dont you guys watch COPS jk.....
really though I would think they have to read you your rights if they are frikin putting you in hand cuffs
They dont have to read miranda rights at any time. However, if they dont, evidence obtained from you after you have been placed in custody may not later be admissible in a criminal case against you. There are many nuances to this general rule.
