The charges may be dropped, but not due to the fact that a person who was arrested for public intoxication was not read their Miranda rights. Despite what you may have heard elsewhere, there is absolutely no requirement that a person being arrested be informed of their Miranda rights. The only time the law requires that a person be informed of their Miranda rights is when they are both, under custodial arrest, and when they are being interrogated. Second, even if a person, subject to custodial arrest and being interrogated, was not informed of their Miranda rights, and the court actually believes this, then the remedy is not to drop the charges, but simply to refuse to allow the fruits of the interrogation to be entered as evidence against the person. In other words, if the court finds that a confession was obtained from the accused while they were subject to custodial arrest and while they were being interrogated without having first been informed of their Miranda rights, then that confession would be "suppressed."

∙ 14y agoNo, only the evidence obtained from you between your arrest and your consultation with a lawyer will be thrown out. Any evidence obtained before your arrest or obtained from sources other than you after your arrest, which would include testimony from the officers concerning what they saw or heard before they arrested you. This could be more than enough to charge you.

When a person is in the United States on a work visa and is arrested with the charges dropped, forcing them to leave due to the expiration of the visa, they are able to come back to the United States.
