What is your miranda rights?

Answers:
miranda rights are what they say to you when you're arrested.
it's named after a guy who was incriminated by what he told police--without knowing he didn't have to.
so it's the way the police warn you about remaining silent, having an attorney, etc.
The Miranda warning is a police warning that is given to criminal suspects in police custody or in a custodial situation in the United States before they are asked questions relating to the commission of a crime. A custodial situation is where the suspect's freedom of movement is restrained although he is not under arrest. Police may request biographical information such as name, date of birth and address without reading suspects their Miranda warnings. A statement by the suspect will not constitute admissible evidence unless the suspect has been advised of and waived their "Miranda rights".
The Miranda warnings were mandated by the 1966 United States Supreme Court decision in the case of Miranda v. Arizona as a means of protecting a criminal suspect's Fifth Amendment right to avoid coercive self-incrimination (see right to silence). However, since its creation by the Warren Court, the Supreme Court has indicated that the Miranda decision is a "prophylactic rule" or preventative safeguards rather than protections mandated directly by the Fifth Amendment privilege
Your Miranda Rights are the fifth and sixth amendments. They mean you have the right to remain silent, since they can use it against you, you have the right to hire an attorney, the right to a public and speedy trial.

you have the right not to speak without an attorney present and if you can't afford an attorney one one will be appointed for you.
