Miranda

Miranda refers to a legal case from 1966 that established important rights for individuals accused of crimes. It requires police to inform suspects of their rights, including the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney, before questioning them. This ensures that confessions or statements made during police interrogation are voluntary and can be used fairly in court. The Miranda rights aim to protect individuals from self-incrimination and to ensure fair legal procedures during arrests and interrogations.
