Miranda warning
The Miranda warning is given by police in the United States to suspects whom they have arrested and intend to question. The Miranda warnings were mandated by the 1966 United States Supreme Court decision in the case of Miranda v. Arizona. They are a means of protecting a criminal suspect's Fifth Amendment right not to be subjected to coerced self-incrimination (see right to silence). This principle of law, though under different names, has been adopted in some other jurisdictions.
