What is the Miranda rights of a suspect when questioned by a police officer?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Castro, D075143 (Cal. App. 2019):
"Under Miranda, police officers must warn a suspect before questioning that he or she has the right to remain silent and the right to the presence of an attorney." (People v. Case (2018) 5 Cal.5th 1, 20 (Case).) When a suspect makes an unambiguous invocation of Miranda rights, all questioning must immediately cease. (Smith v. Illinois (1984) 469 U.S. 91, 98.)
