The Supreme Court decision that requires police officers to read suspects their rights upon arrest is known as Miranda v. Arizona. This landmark ruling was issued by the Supreme Court on June 13, 1966.

  • The Miranda v. Arizona case resulted in the establishment of what are commonly known as "Miranda rights." These are part of a preventive criminal procedure rule that law enforcement is required to administer to protect an individual who is in custody and subject to direct questioning or its functional equivalent from a violation of his or her Fifth Amendment right against compelled self-incrimination.
