The police stop you for a broken taillight, but then they accuse you of committing a recent robbery that has happened in the neighborhood. Before you know it, you've been whisked off to jail - and the police didn't even read you your Miranda rights! Do you think the police can keep you in jail when they didn't read you your Miranda rights? No, they can't, but the police can interrogate you and let you go. Yes, they can, but only for twenty-four hours. Yes, they can, as long as the police don't ask you any questions. No, police have to read people their Miranda rights before they can be put in jail
