What happens if I was not read my Miranda rights after a DWI DUI arrest?
In Minnesota, a police officer is not required to read your miranda rights when they arrest you for a DWI/DUI. In fact, the only time that an officer is required to read your miranda rights after any arrest is if they are going to be asking you custodial questions. These are generally questions that will be incriminating.
Now, if an officer does place you under arrest and questions you without reading your miranda rights, generally the information that they obtain will not be admissible in court. This does not mean that your charges will be dismissed. It only means that the information they obtain from the questions cannot be used against you in court.
DWI/DUI’s can be very confusing, as officers aren’t necessarily required to read your miranda rights. If you are arrested for a DWI/DUI and have concerns about your rights being violated, contact the attorneys at Gerald Miller, P.A. to discuss your rights and the options you have available to you.
