What is miranda doctrine?

The Miranda Doctrine, originating from the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case Miranda v. Arizona in 1966, establishes the requirement that individuals taken into police custody be informed of their rights prior to interrogation. Specifically, this doctrine mandates that law enforcement officers must inform suspects of their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination and their Sixth Amendment right to an attorney. The typical warning includes informing the suspect that they have the right to remain silent, that anything they say can be used against them in court, and that they have the right to an attorney. If these rights are not communicated and the suspect is interrogated, any statements or confessions made may be deemed inadmissible in court. The Miranda Doctrine is a critical safeguard ensuring that individuals are aware of and can exercise their constitutional rights while in police custody.
