When advising a suspect of the Miranda rights:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It is crucial for officers to ensure that the suspect understands the Miranda warnings, and if necessary, they should explain them in simple language. Failure to do so may render the waiver invalid if it is later challenged in court. Simply reading the warnings without ensuring comprehension is not enough. Additionally, A and B are not accurate because officers do not necessarily need to quote the warnings verbatim or have the suspect sign a waiver form (although some departments may require this). Answer D is incorrect because officers are required to read the Miranda warnings regardless of whether the suspect already knows them.
