Cops don't "read you your rights" like they do in the movies. That's a myth. You usually receive them in written form when you are out-processed or make bail.

Many people make the mistake of believing the Miranda warning must be read at the time of arrest/detention. This is incorrect.

They only need to be read to you if the police decide to question you after you have been arrested/detained.

I have had so many clients tell me that charges should be dropped because their rights weren't read to them. I just shake my head and then have to explain it isn't like TV.
