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.

What is a miranda?

Charles Miranda was a person who was arrested by police and not given any formal warnings as to what the consequences could be if he makes a statement to the police, especially one that incriminates himself. The two basic Miranda warnings are that you have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney being present when making a statement. It further states that any time during the questioning you can remain silent and not answer any questions, the police cannot make any threats, coercion, or promises in order to induce you to make a statement: the statement must be of your own free will. It also states that you have the right to a court appointed attorney if you cannot afford one. Finally, it states that any statement you do make to the police can be used against you in trial.
