What if the police don't read me my rights?

FAQ - NYC Criminal Defense Law Advice for Brooklyn and New Y...
Outside of TV land, the police do not have to read you your rights. However, if they do not read you your rights after the arrest and before interrogation, then the statements you are said to have made could be precluded from being used against you at trial. But, if you testify and say something different than what you allegedly said in your prior statement, they can use the statement anyway. Many people do not realize that Mr. Miranda himself, was retried, convicted of murder, and sent to jail.

The police never read me rights. What does this mean?

Dallas County
It depends. Generally, the government may not use any statements you made against you if you made those statements while in custody and in response to police questioning unless they first informed you of your rights. This issue must, however, be decided by a judge after evaluating the specific facts in your case. Additionally, the fact that you were not read your rights does not mean that the charges against you must be dismissed. See similar questions...
