Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statements that police are required to make to a person before that person may be subjected to in-custody questioning are known as "Miranda warnings." These warnings, named after the Supreme Court case Miranda v. Arizona, include informing the person of their right to remain silent, that anything they say can be used against them in court, that they have the right to an attorney, and that if they cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to them. Failure to provide Miranda warnings can result in any statements made during questioning being deemed inadmissible in court.
