To Mirandize a person is to inform (a suspect) of his or her legal rights before questioning. It comes from the U.S. Supreme Court case Miranda v. Arizona in 1966, where the Court held that due to the coercive nature of police questioning, a person must be informed of his Fifth Amendment rights.
Example: If someone had commited a crime in robbery they would have been informed of their wrong doings such as trespassing, stealing, etc.
If they were not informed of that before their courtdate they would not have to go to jail.

Ernesto Miranda was a man who was almost forced by police to incriminate himself in his confession.

Does the Miranda decision require the police personnel to advise a person of his or her rights at the time of arrest?
While the arrestee USUALLY is Mirandized at the time of arrest - it is NOT absolutely required that it be done at that moment.It is only necessary PRIOR TO the beginning of any interrogation. For example: You may be arrested - transported to the station house - placed in a temporary holding cell while the detectives get their information together or return from the scene - and THEN Mirandized at the time you are moved to an interrogation room.Of course, if you are questioned on the scene, obviously you WILL/MUST be advised of your rights before that can be done.

You wait in jail for a bail hearing. When you get your hearing, the judge will hear the charges against you brought by the ADA and you will have a court-appointed defense attorney; the judge will assign the amount of bail and the method in which it may be paid: cash or bond. I'm not an attorney and this is not in any way to substitute for actual legal advice.

Can they use anything against me if i wasn't read my Miranda rights?
The answer depends on the specific circumstance. Generally they would not be able to use information from interrogations after you were arrested.Other evidence, witness statements, etc., are not affected by Miranda.This is something you should discuss with a local attorney.Clarification: Your Miranda rights do not take effect until AFTER you are actually placed under arrest. Anything they learned from speaking with you BEFORE you were arrested is admissible as well as anything you voluntarily say to them, even after you have been Mirandized. As stated above, information they learned independently, from other sources, is not subject to the Miranda provisions and can be used against you.
