QUESTION:

Do you believe the Miranda warning is still a valid concept? Why?

ANSWER:

Many people believe that if they are arrested and not "read their rights," they can escape punishment. Not true. But if the police fail to read a suspect his or her Miranda rights, the prosecutor can't use for most purposes anything the suspect says as evidence against the suspect at trial. Of course, as with nearly all legal rules, there are exceptions (as where public safety is at issue).
