rights advisement

Rights advisement is the process by which law enforcement informs individuals of their constitutional rights, typically before questioning or arrest. This includes explaining that they have the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney, and that anything they say can be used against them in court. The purpose is to ensure individuals understand their protections under the law and can make informed decisions about how to proceed. Proper advisement helps prevent self-incrimination and preserves the integrity of the legal process.
