When do the police have to read me my rights in Florida?

In the State of Florida, Miranda rights, which are the typical rights that someone thinks of as far as a right to remain silent, a right to an attorney, those attach at the point when someone is in custodial detention, meaning that they have been detained by police, they are not free to leave, and they are being asked questions which could incriminate them. At any point someone is sitting in custodial detention, or held in custodial detention by police, that is the time at which Miranda rights, which are the right to remain silent, right to an attorney, right to have an attorney appointed for you if you cannot afford one, those will apply at that point in time.

Additionally, it is very important to note that if during custodial interrogation the police fail to notify a person about their Miranda rights, then, that individual’s statements or confessions may very well be declared inadmissible in court. This safeguard makes sure that people have full knowledge of their constitutional rights and prevents coercive interrogation tactics. Hence, in this unusual case, you should clearly state your intention to exercise these rights and seek the services of a lawyer immediately to prevent potential violations of these rights.
