In Miranda v. Arizona, the respondent, Ernesto Miranda, argued that his confession was obtained without proper legal representation and that he was not informed of his rights to remain silent or to have an attorney present during interrogation. His defense contended that the lack of these warnings violated the Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination and the Sixth Amendment right to counsel. Miranda's attorneys emphasized that coercive police tactics led to his confession, making it inadmissible as evidence. Ultimately, they sought to establish that procedural safeguards were necessary to protect individuals in custody from potential abuses.

Miranda v. Arizona
There is no requirement to advise arrested persons of their rights. The trigger for advice or rights under Miranda V Arizona is 'custodial interrogation'. A person arrested but not questioned is usually not advised of rights, but a person who is being questioned and is not free to leave, whether or not they are arrested must be advised.
