1) Right to remain silent 2) Anything you say can be used against you 3) Right to speak to an attorney and to have an attorney present during questioning 4) If you are indigent, the right to have an attorney appointed to you

As with the first answer; You have the Right to remain silent, Anything you say may be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney and to have an attorney present during questioning (although at times this is only if you are arrested, and not just brought to a police station for questioning, which quite often can result in you being arrested and/or charged) If you can not affort an attorney, a state attorney will be appointed to you on your behalf. These differ very slightly from country to country. Some advice, be very, very careful what you say! It's often better to keep your mouth shut and do not offer up information, just answer the questions with as few words as possible, think about every question before saying anything. Most police departments are experts at getting confessions out of people, or have them admit to fault. "I don't know" or "I can't remember" are great answers! Remember, you do not have to answer any questions. P.S. Remain polite

:) people would answer this question regardless.

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 have an attorney present during questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you.

The Miranda rights were laid down as judge-made law in order to protect your 5th amendment right against self-incrimination. In response to Jenn: What I never understood is number 2...how is anything you say being used against you your right? I can understand them needing to clarify that, but how is it a right? Sounds more like a threat! You have a 5th amendment right against self-incrimination, which means that you cannot be compelled to testify against yourself in a criminal trial. Your right to remain silent comes from the 5th, as does your right to ask for counsel before arraignment. After arraignment, your 6th amendment right to counsel kicks in without requiring you to invoke it.
