When police are conducting custodial interrogation of a suspect, they must first inform the suspect of their Miranda rights. This is the result of Miranda v. Arizona in 1966. The rights referenced by the Miranda warnings were guaranteed in the Bill of Rights in 1791. During the nearly two hundred years between the Bill of Rights and Miranda v. Arizona there were many incremental changes to case law relating to police interrogations. In the over fifty years that have passed since Miranda, is there still a need for the police to inform suspects of their rights before interrogation begins? Does it impair the investigation for the police officer to have to tell the suspect they do not have to answer questions and may have a lawyer present? Explain why you believe Miranda warnings are still necessary or if they should no longer need to be provided to suspects before custodial interrogation.
