What is required under Miranda v. Arizona before questioning a suspect?

Under the ruling of Miranda v. Arizona, police must inform suspects of their rights before they can be questioned. This landmark Supreme Court decision established that individuals taken into police custody must be aware of their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination and their Sixth Amendment right to an attorney. The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that suspects understand their rights and can make an informed decision about whether to speak with law enforcement.

By informing suspects of their rights, law enforcement helps to protect the integrity of any statements made during interrogation, as well as safeguarding the suspects' rights within the criminal justice system. This warning typically includes informing suspects that they have the right to remain silent and that anything they say can be used against them in court, as well as their right to have an attorney present during questioning.
