If someone is handcuffed do they need to be read their Miranda Rights?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
Miranda Rights are only triggered if a suspect is in police custody subject to interrogation, i.e. being asked incriminating questions. Contrary to popular opinion or what may be shown on TV, Miranda warnings do not have to be given everytime someone is placed under arrest. Miranda violations only serve to suppress (or keep out) statements elicited as a result of a Miranda violation and possibly evidence that was obtained because of the violation. A Miranda violation will never affect the validity of the arrest or be enough to dismiss the charge itself unless the violation suppresses so much evidence that the prosecutor would not be able to meet their burden of proof. Have an experienced criminal attorney review the record to see if you have a claim if you are in doubt.

Answered by attorney Kathryn L. Hudson (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Kathryn L. Hudson
Absent exigent (emergency) circumstances no search may be conducted of a dwelling without a search warrant that cites with particularity the place to be searched and the things to be seized. If there was no emergency you may have a civil action against the police department.

Are there any lawyers that charge less than $600 to file a motion to quash warrant?

Answered by attorney Eric E Rothstein (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Rothstein Law PLLC
What's a motion to quash a warrant? I've never heard it. You just go to court (ideally with a lawyer) and get the warrant vacated. At least that how it's done in NYC - unless this is a summons case and you are sending a lawyer to handle it.
