What is the Miranda warning to a person questioned by a police officer after being "taken into custody"?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Bautista, G044045 (Cal. App. 2012):

Under Miranda, "a person questioned by law enforcement officers after being 'taken into custody or otherwise deprived of his freedom of action in any significant way' must first 'be warned that he has a right to remain silent, that any statement he does make may be used as evidence against him, and that he has a right to the presence of an attorney, either retained or appointed.' [Citation.] Statements elicited in noncompliance with this rule may not be admitted for certain purposes in a criminal trial. [Citations.] An officer's obligation to administer Miranda warnings attaches, however, 'only where there has been such a restriction on a person's freedom as to render him "in custody."' [Citations.] In determining whether an individual was in custody, a court must examine all of the circumstances surrounding the interrogation, but 'the ultimate inquiry is simply whether there [was] a "formal arrest or restraint on freedom of movement" of the degree associated with a formal arrest.' [Citations.]" (Stansbury v. California (1994) 511 U.S. 318, 322.)
