Michigan Drunk Driving Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions
In the context of a drunk driving arrest, there are really two sets of rights that should be read to a suspect by the police; the Miranda rights and the chemical test rights. The Miranda rights are the rights that most of us are familiar with, and address your right to speak with an attorney before questioning. A reading of the Miranda rights will include an affirmative statement by the police that what you say can be used against you in Court.

The officer never read me a "Miranda" warning: Can I get my drunk driving case dismissed?

Wade and Nysather - DUI FAQ
The officer is supposed to give a Fifth Amendment Miranda Warning after he arrests you. Sometimes, however, they do not. If they fail to give you a Miranda Warning, the consequence is that the prosecution cannot use any of your answers to questions asked by the police after the arrest. Agreed, it is completely unfair. But the law in Arizona, the "per se" statute provides for immediate confiscation of the license if the breath test result is above the legal limit or if you refuse to blow.

Louisiana DWI Attorney- Baton Rouge DWI Lawyer
No. The officer is supposed to give a 5th Amendment warning after he arrests you. Often, however, they do not. The only consequence is that the prosecution cannot use any of your answers to questions asked by the police after the arrest. Of more consequence in most cases is the failure to advise you of the state's "implied consent" law - that is, your legal obligation to take a chemical test and the results if you refuse. This can effect the suspension of your license.

Phoenix Arizona DUI and Criminal Defense Attorneys - FAQs
Perhaps. The police are only required to read you your "Miranda Rights" if you are actually “in custody” and are a suspect in the crime that they question you about. Failure to advise you of your rights does not automatically result in a dismissal of the charges or your statements being suppressed.

Orange County Public Defender
Probably not. Not being properly advised of your Constitutional rights may have consequences that will impact the ultimate outcome of your case, but the mere fact that you were not properly advised does not mean your case is automatically dismissed. It is an issue that should be brought to the attention of your attorney so that appropriate legal remedies can be sought.

The police did not read me my rights. Shouldn't my case be dismissed?

Bell, Tennent & Frogge, PLLC
Miranda v. Arizona is a famous case in which the United States Supreme Court held that before a confession is admissible in court against a suspect, (1) the police must have informed the suspect that he has a right to counsel and to remain silent, and (2) that the suspect must have intelligently, knowingly and voluntarily waived those rights. However, this only applies to custodial interrogation.

Most likely, no. As discussed above, reading your rights is not necessary for a lawful arrest. However, if you were "interrogated" (legal term with a legal definition) after being placed in "custody" (another legal term with a legal definition), your statements may not be admissible at your trial, which can lead to a dismissal of your case.

No. The police are only required to give you your Miranda warnings if you are under arrest and the officer wants to interrogate you. Your Miranda warnings a.k.a. your Miranda rights are your right to remain silent, that anything you say may be used against you in a court of law (your 5th Amendment rights) and that you have a right to consult an attorney, and if you can not afford one you have a right to have a lawyer appointed for you (your 6th Amendment rights).

A9. No. The officer is supposed to give a 5th Amendment warning after he arrests you and before any questioning. Often, however, they do not. The only consequence is that the prosecution cannot use any of your answers to questions asked by the police after the arrest. Questions regarding the FSTs or whether you will submit to a breath test have been made "exempt" from 5th and 6th Amendment protections.

Will my case get dismissed if the officer doesn't give me a Miranda warning?

georgestein.com; Georgia Lawyer - Drunk Driving Defense
Georgia law does not require the police to give a Miranda warning to a DUI suspect during the officer's initial investigation of the crime. Miranda warnings are only required if the officer interrogates a suspect after the arrest. Put simply, any incriminating statements that you make to police in response to questioning after you're placed in custody and without the benefit of a Miranda warning, are not admissible in court.
