Miranda
Suspect's legal recitation
Miranda is a warning that American police must give to suspects before custodial interrogation, informing them of their right to remain silent and to have an attorney.
Named after the 1966 Supreme Court case *Miranda v.
Arizona*, the warning is so culturally embedded that read someone their Miranda rights or Mirandize have become standard phrases: The officer Mirandized the suspect before questioning.
Separately, Miranda is a feminine given name.
