Miranda rights
The miranda rights are a very important part. You must read the suspect these miranda rights or he will likely face additional charges on him. Therefore, everytime you cuff or attempt to arrest a suspect, you tell him his miranda rights. You're required to do that, no matter how the situation is. The police officer who forgets to read the suspect the miranda rights will most-likely get infracted if he repeats it. In addition, if the suspect fails to understand these rights, the police officer is required to simplify them in other words.
HTML Code:
Code: [Select]
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you do or say can and will be used against you in the court of law.

Do you understand these rights as I have said them?
