Miranda Rule

A quick definition of Miranda Rule:

Term: Miranda Rule

Definition: The Miranda Rule is a warning that police officers must give to people they arrest. The warning tells the person that they have the right to remain silent and that anything they say can be used against them in court. They also have the right to a lawyer, and if they cannot afford one, the government will provide one for them. This rule is named after a court case called Miranda v. Arizona.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The Miranda Rule is a legal requirement that police officers must inform a person in custody of their rights before questioning them. These rights include the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. The Miranda Rule comes from the Supreme Court case Miranda v. Arizona.

Example: If a police officer arrests someone and wants to question them, they must first read them their Miranda rights. The officer might say something like:

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in court. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you."

This example illustrates how the Miranda Rule works. The police officer must inform the person in custody of their rights before questioning them. If the officer fails to do so, any statements the person makes may not be admissible in court.
