"All defendants must be read their Miranda rights if the police are intending to question them about the crime that they have been arrested for. This includes attorneys (who obviously know their rights), criminals, ex-cons, and even police officers who have been arrested.
Now what is easily misunderstood by the general public is the fact that Miranda rights do not need to be read to a "suspect" if he not under arrest and not in custody at the police station. People get that idea from tv and the movies. So unless a person is under arrest or being detained at a police station and not allowed to leave he does not need to be read his rights."
So, I would think what we would have in this case from above is that it depends on whether your friend was detained or went willfully with the police. Also, you would need to know whether or not they were read their rights before questioning began if questioning took place at all. As the police really don't have to read a person their rights until they are being charged with something and questioned about the crime they are believed to have committed. Hope this helps!!! |

It would really depend on the reasons he was picked up. For instance, I was picked up by the police and put in a cell to sober up. At no time was I under arrest, so they did not have to read me my rights. |

That's a sticky question in 2006, Maranda is taking a thumping in the courts.Does the defendant have enough rights now? Does (he,she) have to many? AS time goes on only time or the courts will tell. |

Miranda rights only have to be read to a suspect if they are going to be questioned in relation to the suspected crime or another crime. If they are not going to be questioned then the Miranda rights do not have to be read if the officer is only going to ask standard booking questions. So the answer to your question is what did the officer ask your friend. I was a police officer for 6 years, and the last 3 years I was a detective, so I am completely up to date on Miranda. |

I think that he can be let go. That is not a good thing. |

Quite honestly nothing. Thier is no law requiring that the "Miranda Rights" have to be read to you at time of arrest.
However if the the police start to interragate a suspect before reading them thier "Miranda Rights" thta is a diffrent story. |

Its a requirement that when you are arrested you are made aware of your rights. If your friend was not read his rights his attorney should easily have the case dismissed. |

That sounds a little fishy to me. All police officers are well trained to read those rights immediately and have the suspect sign a statement to that effect. I think your friend is probably mistaken. |
