Keep in mind that in the state of New Jersey, police officers are not actually required by law to read your Miranda Rights at the time of your arrest. Yet, Miranda Rights must be read once you are taken into custody and the police want to question you about the crime. It is recommended that our clients never speak about an alleged crime until they have legal counsel present. The courts have determined that the police are allowed to use certain techniques while interviewing suspects. These tactics can be used to play on your emotions during an overwhelming situation and can cause you to make incriminating remarks. By using your Miranda Rights, you are able to put a stop to these interrogations immediately.
Your Miranda Rights include the following:
If you have any additional questions regarding your Miranda Rights in the state of New Jersey, reach out to our reliable firm today.
Miranda rights are exercised when an officer intends to interrogate the suspect in custody. If the officer does not plan to question a confined person, they do not necessarily have to read them their Miranda rights at the time of the arrest. Instead, if a police officer decides to question the individual after, he or she may read the suspect their rights before the questioning. The timing of when the rights are read can suggest if there was a violation and if there would be any penalties.
If you have been arrested for any reason, you need the aid and representation of a criminal defense attorney. A skilled criminal defense attorney can help decide if there was any violation by a police officer by not reading your rights.
