The Miranda warnings were mandated by the 1966 United States Supreme Court decision in the case of <i>Miranda v. Arizona</i> as a means of protecting a criminal suspect's Fifth Amendment right to avoid coercive self-incrimination. A typical warning goes like this -<br /><br />"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney present during questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you.
