Miranda rights must be read if you plan on or are going to be questioning them. If you ask incriminating questions without Mirandizing the suspect then their answers cannot be used against them in a court of law.

Read the following aloud to the suspect.  You are permitted to memorize, but they must be “read” to the suspect. Our version of the Miranda Rights is the following:

“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do can and will be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided to you by the
State of San Andreas at no cost if one is available.
Do you understand your rights as they have been read to you? With the understanding of these rights do you still wish to speak with me/us?"

The suspect should answer you with some acknowledgment. Keep in mind that a negative response (i.e. “no”) is still an acknowledgment of the rights read, and you are not required to repeat them. If the suspect does not answer, then it will be assumed that they understand their rights and are choosing to remain silent.

Should an investigating officer fail to read Miranda rights when required, although you will face disciplinary action, continue to gather evidence of the crime, Mirandize as soon as possible, and continue the investigation.  Lack of Mirandizing does not make an arrest illegal nor does it negate a suspect’s criminal activity.
