What is the name of the rights that police have to inform you of when you are arrested?

In: Police and Law Enforcement [Edit categories]

Answer:

When you are arrested in the United States, before you can be questioned and have your answers used in court, you must be advised of your rights.

The form police use to inform you of these rights is called the 'Miranda Warning', named after the US Supreme Court decision in Miranda v. Arizona, in 1966.
