If the police fail to "read my rights" or give me a Miranda warning, will my case be dismissed?

 

A: No. Miranda warnings exist to help prevent unwanted police interrogations. As a general rule, the police are supposed to advise you of you right to remain silent and to obtain an attorney at the time of your arrest. If they fail to read Miranda rights to you, any incriminating information that you provide following your arrest may be suppressed.  However, this omission alone will not automatically lead to having your case dismissed.
