description The paper analyses some relevant issues related to the treatment of law enforcement officers in the United States after a person has been taken into custody or otherwise deprived of liberty, which requires informing that person of his/her constitutional rights. In the landmark decision Miranda v. Arizona (1966), the Supreme Court of the United States set standards for law enforcement officers to follow when interrogating suspects held in custody. Suspects who are subject to custodial interrogation must be warned of their right to remain silent; that any statements they make may be used as evidence against them; that they have a right to an attorney; and if they cannot afford an attorney, the State will assign them one prior to any questioning, if they so wish. According to Miranda, unless those rights are not read, any evidence obtained during the interrogation may not be used against the defendant. Ever since Miranda was decided, state and federal courts have struggled with a number of issues with regard to its application, including the suspect’s being in custody, which entitles the suspect to being readMiranda rights, the suspect’s waiving the right to have an attorney present during questioning. Some decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court have attempted to answer these difficult questions.
