decision that requires a law enforcement officer to advise an arrested suspect of certain rights and warnings. These are the right to remain silent, the right to counsel and that anything they say may be used against the suspect during criminal proceedings.

Police interrogation of criminal suspects by the police must be conducted in compliance with certain legal requirements. One penalty for noncompliance is the rejection of a confession as evidence at trial. The long standing requirement that a confession must be a voluntary one before it may be used as evidence in a criminal case is based upon the principle of protection of the innocent.
