If you get arrested for a dui, does the officer have to read you your Miranda rights?

Question

If you get arrested for a dui, does the officer have to read you your Miranda rights?



Answer

No. It's not like TV or the movies. Just being arrested doesn't mean they have to read you your rights. It's only if you're in custody (aka arrested) AND you're being interrogated. Many cases involve arrests and never have Miranda rights read.
