If you are not read your Miranda Rights and not given the opportunity to speak with a detective during time of arrest could charges be dropped?
Answers:
No, a common misconception.
I am a law professor, and hat happens if they don't read you your miranda rights is that anything you say cannot be used against you in a court of law.
In fact, Ernesto Miranda was still convicted, despite his confession being thrown out.
It depends. Miranda Rights are not required for detainment.
They can always be dropped, but it's unlikley for the above reason. Now if they started interrogating you without having read you those rights, then that's a different story.
That depends, It's your word against theirs.
only if you give a statement used against you...you need the chance to speak with a lawyer, not a detective.
If you are not read your miranda rights you dont need to remind them and the whole thing could go to trial and fall through.
miranda rights are required in a criminal case, if they use a statement against you in court then the case would fall through because you "where not informed" they could do that, and the dash cam in most cruisers would have captured if they where read to you or not, so it is supported by video evidence
No. In the real world, it is suggested that the Miranda be read at arrest, but it is not necessary or mandatory. It should be and is strongly advised that it be read before any questioning by any official agent (officer or agent working for the govt.).
And its not "given the opportunity to speak with a detective", as you say. It is a lawyer.
Miranda applies when your being questioned about a crime. If no detective spoke with you then there is no reason to mirandize you. If you were questioned with your Miranda rights being read then all statements made cannot be used in court
