FAQ
If you are not read a required Miranda warning, we can file a “motion to suppress evidence.” If the judge grants it, any incriminating statements you made after the warning should have been given will be inadmissible.
While Miranda warnings are extremely important, an officer's failure to read them in and of itself does not result in a dismissal of criminal charges. Simply put, Miranda warnings themselves are not constitutional rights; rather, they are safeguards against the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination.
No, you cannot sue for no Miranda warning. You don't have a right to a Miranda warning. If you did, then maybe you might have a Sec. 1983 claim for no advisement. Instead, your remedy for no Miranda warning is suppression of incriminating statements made while you were under arrest.
However, law enforcement does not have to read Miranda rights (also known as “Mirandize”) to you before asking any and every question.
If you have been arrested and were not read your Miranda rights during questioning, then you should contact an experienced criminal defense attorney immediately. It is possible that the information and evidence acquired from your unlawful questioning can be tossed out of the case.
Law enforcement officers may be investigating you to gather sufficient evidence to accuse you of the crime officially. They may have contacted you or people close to you regarding crimes they think you committed. Being charged with a crime means the prosecutors have filed criminal charges against you.
