It was named after the Supreme Court case that mandated that law enforcement give this announcement before questioning defendants.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Florida Miranda Requirements<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Florida law requires that police give the Miranda warning when a defendant is arrested or taken into custody. It is such an important requirement, in fact, that any information admitted by the defendant before the Miranda warning is given may not be admissible in court. However, there are some exceptions to this general rule.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, Miranda warnings only need to be given to potential defendants after someone is taken into custody. So if the police stop you on the street and ask you questions \u2013 and you are free to leave at any time \u2013 they do not need to give you the warning. However, if you are arrested and brought into the station, then your Miranda rights need to be given to you before you are interrogated. Keep in mind that this does not necessarily apply to statements that you make voluntarily and without being asked.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.criminalattorneyclearwater.net\/blog\/florida-appeals-court-throws-out-sex-crime-defendants-statements\/#more-704\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cYou have the right to remain silent.
