You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to have an attorney present during questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you

They are called Miranda rights

you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used in the Court of law. You have the right to an attorney, if you cannot afford an attorney one will be appointed by the court of law, do you understand these rights?

Boo is absolutely correct. Miranda rights are not always given to arrestees. Miranda rights are only required to be given if a person is in custody and being interrogated. The arrestee is informed of the charge(s) that he/she is being charged with. The arrestee is then booked in the jail of the county where he/she is arrested.

It depends on what is happening. If the guy is being arrested on a warrant, the charges of the warrant will be read to the defendant. Such as: I am placing you under arrest for the crime of _______. Then, if the defendant is questioned or the police intend to question the defendant then they are read their Miranda Rights. Because there is no national police force, save for federal departments like the FBI, the actual saying will vary from department to department.

However, the general gist of what is read is something along the lines of this: "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to have an attorney present during questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you."

Some agencies may add additional lines such as: "If you choose to answer questions, you may at anytime choose to stop answering questions."

It is very simple. "You are under arrest".
Miranda Rights are read ONLY if you you are going to question the person about the crime.
All other information like full name, address, date of birth can be asked without Miranda.
Any statements can be documented that are related to the crime even if questions are not asked and Miranda is not read. More often than not the person knows what they are being arrested for, however if they ask you of course advise them.

They tell you that you are under arrest for what ever they are going to charge you with. they do not have to read your Miranda rights unless they are going to be questioning you.

It's been said a hundred times, but this might give a little more insight:

"You are under arrest." is a phrase that US police may use when they are taking custody of a person whom they have probable cause to believe has committed a crime.

The Miranda rights actually stem from Miranda v. Arizona (case law) in which an offender was not given his rights during questioning. The Supreme court ruled that all individuals that are going to be asked ACCUSATORY questions must be "Mirandized". For instance: if you ask someone, "Who drove that stolen car?" it is not an accusatory question, but if you ask someone, "Did you drive that stolen car?" then you have accused them of posession of stolen property (MV). This kind of question would require miranda rights to be read.

Very simply, our supreme court has not placed any meaning on words when adopting policies of arrest. The ruling says that anytime an individual submits to your authority you have detained them, which in all actuality amounts to an arrest. So...."STOP! POLICE!" is very much the same as "You are under arrest."

No one listens to either......

Most officers I have dealt with in my time as a police dispatcher just say "You're under arrest" they don't read Miranda Rights unless they are questioning them about a crime.

You are told what crime you are being arrested for and read your rights, which include the right to remain silent and to have an attorney present for all questions, and that if you can't afford an attorney that you will be assigned one.

Basically the same as in Britain.
