1. What is the Miranda warning and when is it required to be given to
a suspect?
a) A statement of the rights of a person under arrest, including the
right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. It is required
whenever a person is taken into custody by law enforcement.
b) A statement of the rights of a person accused of a crime, including
the right to a fair trial and the right to a jury. It is required whenever
a person is formally charged with a crime.
c) A statement of the rights of a person who is being interrogated by
law enforcement, including the right to stop answering questions
and the right to have a lawyer present. It is required whenever a
person is subjected to custodial interrogation.
d) A statement of the rights of a person who is being searched by law
enforcement, including the right to refuse consent and the right to
have a warrant. It is required whenever a person is subjected to a
search that implicates their privacy interests.
Answer: C. The Miranda warning is derived from the Supreme Court
case Miranda v. Arizona (1966), which held that statements made
by a suspect during custodial interrogation are inadmissible unless
the suspect was informed of their rights and waived them
voluntarily. A custodial interrogation is one where the suspect is
not free to leave or terminate the questioning.
