Miranda rights are the rights a person has when they are about to be arrested. The arresting officer will say that a person has the right to remain silent, anything they say can and will be used against them in court. He/she has the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford your own attorney, one will be provided to you. This statement must be read by every person who is about to be arrested. How the Miranda rights came about was in June of 1966. The reason these rights are read to a person is to protect a person from incriminating themselves. Reading a person their Miranda rights doesn't stop them from being arrested, it just keeps them from saying something they shouldn't say. The arresting officer will still ask questions before arrest, but must inform the suspect that the questioning is voluntary and that he or she is free not to answer any of the questions. If you agree to the police interrogation, you can later decide not to answer any more questions. If you have been Mirandize and give up your rights it means they will talk to the police without you...
