Miranda rights refer to the legal rights that must be read to an individual upon arrest, informing them of their right to remain silent and their right to an attorney. This requirement stems from the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Miranda v. Arizona (1966), which aimed to protect a suspect's Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. The rights are typically communicated through a standard warning given by law enforcement officials. If these rights are not provided, any statements made by the suspect may be inadmissible in court.
