Miranda v arizona
I think that the Miranda rights ensure justice and preserve our liberty. With out the Miranda rights read to us how would we know what kind of rights we have. The whole point of the Miranda rights are so that the civilian will understand his rights, and to ensure justice and preserve his liberty. Police officers are required to say the Miranda rights to protect the individual who is in custody and in questioning. It tell the individual about violation of his Fifth Amendment right against compelled self incrimination.
“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you.” This are the rights read to you. If you see it's trying to preserve your liberty by telling you anything you say can

If a officers question a suspect without first giving the Miranda rights, any statement or confession made is presumed to be involuntary, and cannot be used against the suspect in any criminal case. In other words it can't be used against you in any way.Any evidence gotten as a result of the confession will most likely be thrown out of the case. And will never be used against you. This is good because it preserves you liberty. So if they don't say the Miranda rights to you then they can't use the evidence they gathered against you. This ensures justice to the person in custody .
Although the Miranda right have an exemption. The Miranda rule is not, however, always reliable . There is an exception that exists in cases of "public safety". So in this case the Miranda rights would not be used to ensure justice and preserve you liberty. The public safety rule is use in case you want to hurt some one so the cops can arrest your without reading to you the Miranda
Ernesto Miranda’s written confession confession included a signed statement saying that he had a full understanding of his fifth amendment rights. Miranda argued that he was never told his rights nor did he understand them. In the fifth amendment of the United States constitution it says that an accused person cannot be forced to witness against their self, also the sixth amendment states that the accused shall have the assistance of counsel for his defense. Miranda claimed that he neither knew his fifth amendment right to remain silent or his right to have a lawyer present during questioning. He argued that a suspect who didn’t have any prior knowledge of his rights would feel pressured to answer all the questions posed by the interrogators. They used his written testimony to convict Miranda. Since Miranda didn’t know he didn’t have to answer all the questions, his confession wasn’t voluntary (alavardohistory). Therefore since it wasn’t voluntary he was forced to “witness” against himself. As a result the actions of the police violated the fifth amendment.
The Miranda rights are the rights a law enforcement will have to advise an individual once the police officer arrests that particular person. It is actually the indication that officers of the law provide suspects to ensure that they are aware of their rights before they are interrogated. It was in fact a law created after the investigations of the Miranda vs. Arizona case. The case was comparable because it was a 5-4 conclusion. The court determined that any form of evidence, may it be incriminating as well as evidence of innocence, should be considered to be proof in a case; but could only be considered whenever the police let the suspect understand that they have the right to legal representation before and also throughout questioning and that the suspect may be quiet to prevent self-incrimination before an interrogation. This can be a staple whenever police arrests are done. I am going to specify the reason why I think that the Miranda Rights are not needed any longer.
The Miranda rights were named after a criminal named Ernesto Miranda. Ernesto Miranda was a poor Mexican immigrant who resided in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1963 Miranda was arrested after a crime victim identified him in a police line-up. Miranda was charged with the raping of an eighteen year old female, kidnapping and armed robbery, he was interrogated for two hours while in police custody; during this time he signed a written confession of committing the crimes he was accused for. His confession was later used against him in court. After the conviction, Miranda’s lawyers appealed arguing that Ernesto Miranda did not know that he was protected from self-discrimination (when you imply you’re guilty even if you’re not.) The police officers who interrogated him for almost 3 hours did not read him his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination or sixth amendment which guarantees any criminal the right to an attorney. Miranda v. Arizona went all the way up to Supreme Court. There the Supreme Court ruled that police officers have the responsibility to inform the subject of their constitutional
Everyone has heard the term Miranda Rights, whether that be when taking a law class, during the course of a television show, or perhaps through personal experience with their use, but what do these two words really mean, where did they come from and how to they apply to an individual's everyday life? The answers to this question are neither simple nor fully answered today, as challenges to Miranda Rights appear in courtrooms routinely. However, the basis for Miranda Rights can be traced back to a landmark case handed down from the Supreme Court of the United States in 1965 entitled Miranda v. Arizona. Ernesto Miranda was an immigrant from Mexico living in the Phoenix, Arizona area in 1963 when he was accused of
This is an important debate for people accused of a crime because these rights could mean the difference between freedom and imprisonment. The two positions argue whether or not suspects should be read their Miranda Rights. Both viewpoints have valid claims warranting consideration. For example, evidence indicates that these rights could help guilty suspects avoid punishment. In contrast, opposing evidence suggests that they will not. While both sides of the issue have valid points, the claim that suspects should be read their Miranda Rights is the stronger position, the position supported by a preponderance of the evidence cited in the passages. The most convincing and forceful reasons in support of this position are that these rights

Miranda Warnings reaffirmed the rights afforded by the Fifth and Sixth Amendments: all U.S. citizens have the right to remain silent so as not to incriminate themselves, as well as the right to due process in a court of law before a jury of their peers.
The Miranda Rights, also known as the Miranda Warning, were derived from the 5th and 6th amendments in which they guarantee all people who are taken into arrest the right to trial, council, and to be appointed a lawyer. Although not explicitly expressed in the constitution, the Miranda rights provide the necessary precautions for self-incrimination and proper trial by providing those who have been arrested or incarcerated a brief description of the rights the individual is guaranteed to. It also provides the means for lawfully gathering information such as confessions and testimony from criminals for use in a court and trial. Often individuals who are taken into custody are not fully aware of one’s rights, especially the right to maintain silent, and this in turn can lead to information being given that may lead to the accused to be unlawfully tried and placed in jail for long periods of time.
Another benefit that Miranda warnings provide to law enforcement is due to that public confidence mentioned above, detectives who are in charge of interrogating a suspect can use Miranda in their tactics. Detectives begin by cultivating the suspect, getting him to make eye contact and engage in conversation. This along with the
Means---A person in police custody may refuse to answer any questions relating to the crime that he is suspected of committing. The Supreme Court has ruled that this applies to not only the trial but also, police interrogations. Moreover, if the police want to question a suspect, they must first give him Miranda warnings. Is it genuine that to capture you, a cop needs to let you know the Miranda rights and inquire as to whether you get it? Imagine a scenario in which somebody continues saying they don't get it. As indicated by me-No. This is something individuals got from TV. Cops don't have to peruse you your rights unless you are in authority and they are addressing you. On the off chance that they are not addressing you, they don't have to reveal to you anything. On the off
The Miranda rights were established in 1966 as a result of the supreme court case Miranda v. Arizona. The Miranda rights states, "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have a right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you." To me the Miranda rights are important because they inform suspects that they are not obligated to talk to the police once they are arrested. These rights are trying to help individuals not incriminate themselves, and basically tell them what they are entitled. Nowadays we mostly here the Miranda rights being repeated on television and films.
why should I listen to the miranda rights when the law man or women give them to me. one reason is so if the person that is getting arrested knows what rights he or she has or don't have.
The Miranda rights are not explicitly stated in the constitution, however the constitution does guarantee against self-incrimination by the 5th amendment and the right to council by the 6th amendment. Law enforcement officials are run by the department of justice, they are responsible for reading these rights to all people they arrest and in my opinion I feel that the officials do a good job of ensuring that all people they detain are read their Miranda rights.
Miranda also protects suspects from fanatical law enforcement officials. Although most law-enforcement officials are nice men and women, some conduct ill-usage of their power. They may try to pressure suspects
When you are arrested, if you aren’t given you Miranda Rights, then questioning after an arrest, can be inadmissible at trial (“Advisement of Rights”, np). That is part of what Due Process is. Due Process is the right that you have to be given all of your rights and the court has to execute all of your rights before you can be punished. Another right is no cruel or unusual
