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.

When is a person under arrest?

A person is "under arrest" when a police officer charges them with a crime and chooses to take them to the police station to be processed for it. For example, if someone commits a crime, they are technically under arrest when a police officer witnesses the crime or has a warrant for the arrest and tells the criminal "You are under arrest." Typical procedure after this is to put handcuffs on the criminal and read them their Miranda rights (you have the right to remain silent etc). Handcuffs alone do not mean arrest, but i'm pretty sure its illegal for a police officer to handcuff someone without grounds to arrest them. As a side note, the person doing the arrest does not have to be a sworn in police officer. In Citizen's arrest cases, anyone with arresting powers like a bounty hunter can also place someone under arrest.


Whats the main differences between arrest with and without a warrant?

Without a warrant you must find reasonable grounds to arrest someone, whereas with a warrant your reason to arrest the suspect already exists. Without a warrant a Police Officer can arrest anyone without permission of a Magistrate as long as they follow the correct procedures so their arrest is lawful, which is unlike an arrest with a warrant where you must be granted the warrant to be able to arrest that person. Without a warrant, a Police Officer can mess the arrest up and make it an unlawful arrest but with a warrant it is very unlikely that they make it an unlawful arrest.


Can the police officer threaten to arrest you if your trying to tell them that someone has your stuff and there right in front of them?
