Supreme Court cases regarding interrogation

Supreme Court cases on interrogation, like Miranda v. Arizona (1966), established that law enforcement must inform suspects of their rights—such as the right to remain silent and to have an attorney—before questioning them. This is to protect against self-incrimination and ensure fair trials. If officers fail to provide these rights, statements obtained during interrogation may be deemed inadmissible in court. These rulings emphasize the importance of safeguarding individual constitutional rights during police interactions, balancing effective law enforcement with personal protections under the Fifth Amendment.
