Patrol Case Law: Miranda V. Arizona

Miranda v. Arizona, which established the now-famous Miranda Rights. The decision centered around the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and its application to police custodial interrogation. The Court recognized the inherent coercion present in such settings, leading to the requirement of warnings about the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney, and the consequences of waiving these rights. The decision aimed to protect individual liberties while acknowledging the need for effective law enforcement.
