What is miranda doctrine and miranda rights
The Miranda Doctrine, stemming from the 1966 U.S. Supreme Court case **Miranda v. Arizona**, establishes the obligation of law enforcement to inform individuals of their rights when they are taken into custody and prior to interrogation. This doctrine is designed to protect the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and the Sixth Amendment right to counsel.
**Miranda Rights** typically include the following notifications:
1. **The right to remain silent**: Individuals have the right to not answer questions or provide information that may incriminate them.
2. **The right to an attorney**: Individuals have the right to consult with an attorney and have one present during questioning.
3. **The warning that anything said can be used against them in court**: Individuals are informed that their statements can be used as evidence in a legal proceeding.
The purpose of these rights is to ensure that individuals are aware of their legal protections and understand the consequences of waiving those rights. If law enforcement fails to provide these warnings, any statements made by the individual during interrogation may be inadmissible in court.
