does a cop have to read your rights before putting you in jail for 6 hours? No phone call either.

Answered 13 years ago by Waynice Green (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Drug Crimes
Miranda rights must be administered before an officer interrogates you about a crime, and makes comments which are likely to invoke an incriminating response.  I would need to know more about the facts of your case before I could give you an answer that is relevant to your specific situation.  But if your question is simply whether an officer needs to read you Miranda rights to place you under arrest, the answer is no (though they should).  A field inquiry, an investigative stop and and an interrogation are all different levels of questioning conducted by the cops, and your rights vary depending on which type of questioning occured.  However, your question does not actually discuss if/ when the questioning occured.  Feel free to contact my office should you have any further questions.  (732) 609-3915.  I wish you the best of luck. ...
