depends. were you questioned? typically that's all they were wrtitten for. were you afforded the oppurtunity to use the phone? it will be a very tricky situation. if they asked you questions directly related to the charges then more than likely all info obtained is inadmissable. were you caught redhanded? that seals the deal. they must have had a good reason for not mirandizing you. most paperwork you sign at a police dept while being processed has a summary of rights on it which suspects actually are told to read and sign. in a lot of cases it is only a formality unless falls under the above.
Added: You are not required to have your Miranda Rights given to you at the time of arrest. ONLY before the beginning of any interrogation. If no interrogation occurs at the scene of the arrest, there is no violation.
This answer is incorrect. Anytime that someone is in custody (meaning that an ordinary person would not feel free to leave under the circumstances) and is subject to interrogation (interrogation means words or actions reasonably likely to elicit an incriminating response) Mirandas must be read, and there must be a valid waiver (knowing, intelligent and voluntary waiver of these rights) for any statements made to be admissible in court. For example, if you are pulled over and you ask a police officer "Am I free to leave?" and he says "no" then you are in custody. Now, if he asks you a question, such as "why were you weaving in traffic," then he is interrogating you. Such a question is likely to elicit an incriminating response. At this point, if you are not read your Mirandas, any statement you make is inadmissible at trial. This has absolutely nothing to do with what type of a crime you have committed.

∙ 15y agoNo. Miranda has nothing to do with an arrest.
Miranda applies to custodial interrogation and the penalty for an error in Miranda is that the statements are not admissible in court.

What does a police officer in the US have to say and what difference does it make at the time of an arrest?
The officer has no specific words to say beyond informing you that you are under arrest. Occasionally you may be placed under arrest without ever being told. Many people wrongly believe that an officer must read a person their Miranda rights at arrest. This is not correct. Generally, Miranda rights are only necesary at the time of a custodial interrogation. If you are arrested and not questioned afterward then it is unlikely that you will be given Miranda rights.

What is the phrase that the police use when taking somebody into custody?
"You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence."Slightly different version in the US- known as the Miranda Rights or Miranda warning- and it DOES vary slightly from state to state:"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 speak to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you. Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you?"Added: In the US, it is uncommon for officers to read Miranda immediately upon arrest. Miranda warnings protect defendants from interrogation. Therefore, Miranda is most commonly read after the arrest, before an interrogation.
