Yes.
Although you can request them to be read, you will often find many defendants you have been arrested but not read their rights or told formally of their arrest at the time. This is because the police have little obligation to this. They are focused on the evidence received through questioning of defendants in custody, rather than the initial arrest.

∙ 12y agoYes. In the United States, a peace officer only reads you your rights when you are being questioned as a suspect in a criminal offense. If the officer witnesses your crime (catches you driving while intoxicated, for example), the officer doesn't need to ask you anything.

In Florida what happens when the police arrest you without reading your rights?
The police have to read you your rights ONLY IF they want to question you and use your answers against you later in a court of law. If you have made a statement and the police have not read you your rights AND a judge thinks that this really what happened, then your statement cannot be used against you at trial. Obviously it is going to be your word against the police. You can still be prosecuted as long as there is enough evidence without using the statement. Other than that, the police do not have to tell you anything.

Is it legal to question some one without giving Miranda rights?
Yes. The issue is custody. When a person is in police custody they should be given Miranda if the police intend to use their answers against them. Until they're in custody (not allowed to leave) authorities can question a person to any degree they wish.
Can a officer arrest someone without reading their rights?
Yes. Miranda rights are not required to be provided upon arrest. Miranda rights will be provided prior to Police asking questions which could elicit an incriminating response. For example: you can be arrested for shoplifting, taken to a jail, fingerprinted and photographed. At no time do Police during the above described process have to question you about the crime you are suspected of committing, therefore Miranda is not required. Once Police ask you what you shoplifted, how you did it, who you did it with, etc, must Miranda rights be provided. Movies and TV portrays Detectives as slapping the cuffs on a bad guy and immediately reading them their rights. This provides a false reality to the general public. In actuality a suspect is usually notified why they are being arrested, but not always, and transported to a jail or to Detectives for questioning.
