An acquittal due to failure to Mirandize, or read you your rights, is often the fare of television courtroom dramas, but the truth is such an occurrence is rare. Police officers are trained and retrained in proper procedures involved in an arrest. Each officer carries a Miranda card from which they will read, even if they feel they have memorized the warning. Even if you feel you were not properly read your rights or that they were forgotten altogether, the case will not be thrown out. Only the information gathered by direct questioning by the police prior to reading the warning will be unusable. Failure to Mirandize is usually not the best defense in a drunk driving case. The information contained in this message is general and should not substitute for the advice and counsel of a licensed attorney.
