Answer : Miranda warning (X) is a warning given by United States police to criminal suspects in police custody, or in a custodial situation, before they are interrogated. The Miranda warnings were mandated by the 1966 United States Supreme Court decision in the case of Miranda v. Arizona as a means of protecting a criminal suspect's Fifth Amendment right to avoid coercive self-incrimination. A typical warning goes like this -

"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. Do you understand these rights?"

Answer : X - Jack Daniels, Y - Lynchburg, Tennessee

The advertisements continue to say that Lynchburg has only 361 people, while the official population is much greater.
