What is a Miranda Warning?

A Miranda Warning is a means to inform a person of their Miranda rights prior to being interrogated in police custody.

The Miranda Warning

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say 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 for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you? With these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me?"
