Canadian law enforcement can only arrest someone if there is an active arrest warrant or a reasonable suspicion that the person has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime. The arresting officers must identify themselves as law enforcement officers and state that they are putting the person under arrest. They must also tell people the charges against them and let them talk to a lawyer. Police can't question someone until they have a chance to talk to a lawyer, but they can search the person for evidence.

Should you be read your rights if you are picked up on a warrant?

Yes, you should be read your rights when you are picked up on a warrant, particularly if you are being arrested. The Miranda rights inform you of your right to remain silent and your right to an attorney, which are crucial for protecting your legal rights during questioning. However, if you are not being interrogated, the police may not be required to read you your rights immediately upon arrest.

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.


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.
