they can arrest you only after reading your Miranda rights.

No, they would not arrest you immediately, unless they really believed you committed a crime.  Otherwise, it would be wrongful arrest.\n\nAnd yes, ideally they want to question everyone immediately while facts are still fresh.  However, if you (this applies to everyone) request a lawyer, they will not be able to question you anymore, sometimes for days.  My guess is that in this case, Cheney's attorney probably told him to not answer any questions right away, which he does not have to do.

1. You have the right to remain silent and may refuse to answer questions. Do you understand?\n2. Anything you do or say may be used against you in a court of law. Do you understand?\n3. You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future. Do you understand?\n4. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish. Do you understand?\n5. If you decide to answer questions now without an attorney present, you will still have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to an attorney. Do you understand?\n6. Knowing and understanding your rights as I have explained them to you, are you willing to answer my questions without an attorney present?\n\nIf an officer does not read you the Miranda Warning, your arrest will not be thrown out of court; however, any statements you make will not be taken in as fact of the matter and are completely off the record.  That is, if you can prove that your Constitutional rights were violated.

Yes, you can be arrested without having your rights read to you.  The Miranda rule only applies when you are being interrogated about the crime that you are charged with.\n\nExample 1: A police officer witnesses you break into a car and take a pocket book from within.  The officer arrest you and takes you to jail.  He doesn't have to question you.... It is a valid arrest and your rights have not been violated.\n\nExample 2: You are pulled over by the police for running a stop sign.  He finds out you are in possession of a car stereo that was stolen two days ago from a car break in.  The officer arrest you for possession of stolen goods.  He must read you your rights prior to asking you any questions about how you got the stereo.  \n\nKeep in mind he can ask you anything he wants to prior to making an arrest.  Miranda only comes into play after you have been arrested, and you are being interrogated.

arrest for both of you if caught

That drug causes paranoia. When I used to do it, I would see and hear things that were not there, partially because I would be worried about getting caught, you always think the cops are right around the corner. If you've been up a few days, maybe you are suffering from sleep deprivation and are seeing things. If that's the case, please, just go to sleep.

Yes, just stay where you are.  The police will be there shortly.

Are you nuts? The police won't tell anyone about arrest warrants, least of all the person to be taken into custody. How in hell would they ever catch anyone if it were otherwise?

Warrants don't lapse. The police keep them on file and exercise them whenever they catch up to the person who has an outstanding warrant against them. What do you think they are doing when they get on their radios after they have pulled you over? They use your drivers license number to track these things down and your car license plates as well. They can ask you to come to the station and supply finger prints if they have cause to believe you are wanted for something, so even phony ID won't help you.

You would walk up to them and tell them they are under arrest and they have to wait there for a police officer.\n\nBasicly you don't,  you call the police and inform of them of the crime.  In GA for example you can also file a complaint with the circuit court and ask for a warrant to be issued for a crime.\n\nYou risk danger of getting arrested yourself for illegal detaining someone,  you get hurt since the other personal normally does not want to be arested.

he can just give you a warning, he can give you a ticket, or since a ticket is given in lieu of an arrest, he could arrest you....its officer's discretion\n\n\nthere is no law that says an officer HAS to issue you a ticket

The police aren't required to mirandize you period.  However, if they don't then nothing you say or do can be used against you.
936537
yea..if the police try to arrest you just say it was an accident, and you were having a complication due to low blood preesure..they'll let you go!!! trust me!!!

No it's not, if they arrest your they have to read you your rights, and sometimes they do that at court.

As a former police officer, I can tell you that a police officer does NOT have to read you your rights unless you are being questioned in connection with a Felony. Misdemeanor crimes do not by law require a Miranda warning. It is done sometimes as a courtesy but not very often and a warning is usually read to you in the case of a DUI or DWI arrest prior to a breathalyzer test and jail video for test of sobriety at the time of booking. Another falacy of law enforcement is that you have the RIGHT to one phone call. The police do not have to let you use the phone at all, it is actually a courtesy. They can legally deny you the use of the telephone for any reason. However, I've yet to see that happen unless a prisoner is violent and has to be kept in the cell until they calm down and behave. Hope this helps you.=)

Answers are pretty good. You do NOT have to let them in unless they have a warrant (or there are "exigent circumstances" like a criminal running into your house during a footchase).  And even if they have a warrant you do NOT have to talk to them.\nNote that the police do not have to give you Miranda warnings unless you are in "custodial interrogation."  That means you have to be under arrest, or basically under arrest, before you get your miranda warnings.  But even if you're not under arrest, the police can and will use any statements against you in court.\nNow that doesn't mean you don't want to talk to the police -- there may be times that you do want to voluntarily talk.  But you are not obligated.  At most, the police MIGHT be able to force you to give them identification, but that's it.
