Question: What is the purpose of the Miranda warning?
Answer: So basically the Miranda warning is a protection for citizens to inform suspects—and when I say suspects, people who are under arrest, people who are in custody and suspected of particular crimes—to inform them of their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and their Sixth Amendment right to counsel so they can make intelligent choices about whether to waive those rights and speak to the police, whether to invoke those rights and not submit to interrogation, and whether to insist on having an attorney present before and during questioning.
