The police have an obligation to read the accused his constitutional rights after the person has been targeted as the suspect. The police can ask general questions which provide the information as to what happened and what witnesses saw what happened.The police can ask questions such as name and address and what happened. The police cannot ask questions directly of the person such as, did you commit the crime untilthey have read the person their Miranda rights. Ed Dimon
