Pre Vs. Post-Arrest Questioning 🤔😲
What’s the difference between pre-arrest and post-arrest questioning?
In pre-arrest situations, no Miranda Warning is issued if the person is not under arrest. They aren’t going to trial for a crime, so there is no need to issue a warning. Sometimes during questioning, Miranda Rights will be read if the police feel the suspect’s interrogation has reached a point where they feel he or she is incriminating themselves. This protects the suspect’s rights as well as the police’s ability to use that testimony in court.
The difference between Pre Arrest Questioning and Post Arrest Questioning may shock you. You should know these differences when being questioned by the police.
