Does a cop have to read me my rights if I was put in cuffs but I did not go to jail?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
That depends on the circumstances. Television and the movies haven't helped in clarifying the many misconceptions about Miranda warnings. First, the police do not have to read you your rights everytime they arrest you or even talk to you. Second, a Miranda violation will never invalidate an arrest. Let's take them now one at a time. The police only have to read you your rights when you are in their custody and they wish to interrogate you or ask you potentially incriminating questions. This is a case-by-case basis which hinges upon would the reasonable person feel free to leave or refuse to answer the officer's questions under the circumstances. Obviously if you are in handcuffs or have been arrested, you are in custody and not free to go. Now, did the police interrogate you or ask you incriminating questions? Routine booking questions such as name, address, etc. don't count. A lawyer would have to review the police report in order to fully answer the question. Also, even if there was a Miranda violation it will not invalidate an arrest. Miranda violations will only suppress statements and possibly evidence that was obtained by those statements. Sometimes due to Miranda suppressions, prosecutors will be left with so little evidence that they will have to dismiss or lower the charges because the suppressed evidence leaves them unable to meet their burden of proof. Hope this helps to clear things up a little. Haven an attorney fully review the case file before committing to anything.

Can I own a firearm though I was a felon?

Gregory Charles Graf
Answered by attorney Gregory Charles Graf (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Bertram & Graf, LLC
A convicted felon cannot possess a firearm. If your case was a deferred judgment and you successfully completed the deferred judgment, the guilty plea would have been withdrawn and the case dismissed. If this was the case, you can possess a firearm once the case was dismissed. If it was a straight conviction, you are prohibited from possessing a firearm under state and federal law.
