No. All your "rights" do is put you on notice that anything you say can be used against you in a court of law. If you refuse to acknowledge your rights, they can go right ahead and arrest, try and convinct you. They simply can't use anything you say after refusing to acknowledge your rights in court. It's a common misconception that one must "be read their rights" for an arrest to be "legal." The Miranda Warnings, which is what people call their "rights," only applies to your right to remain silent and the admissability of what you say, then puts you on notice that you will be provided a lawyer if you can't afford one. The following is a minimal Miranda warning, as outlined in the Miranda v Arizona case. 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 be speak to an attorney, and to have an attorney present during any questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be provided for you at government expense. The following is a much more verbose Miranda warning, designed to cover all bases that a detainee might encounter while in police custody. A detainee may be asked to sign a statement acknowledging the following. You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions. Do you understand? Anything you do say may be used against you in a court of law. Do you understand? You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future. Do you understand? If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish. Do you understand? If you decide to answer questions now without an attorney present you will still have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to an attorney. Do you understand? Knowing and understanding your rights as I have explained them to you, are you willing to answer my questions without an attorney present? Source: http://www.usconstitution.net/miranda.html

You can say no forever and ever and it will make no difference in you being arrested, for an offense. as long as the officer notes the date and time you were advised of your miranda warning, you were advised. saying no, just to tick the officer, was a lame response. Don't expect any leniency in court!!

In England they don't even read you your rights... they just tell you to shut up... the best answer to that is to continually ay why... even if they aren't talking... childish yet hilarious. ;p

Being read your rights has nothing to do with your ability to be charged. If you keep saying that you do not understand, the most that will happen is you will not be interrogated.
