5th Amendment Miranda Warning- No person accused of a crime may be forced to be a witness against him or herself, because in the eyes of a jury or court it may make the accused look guilty. Starting in 1966, after the Miranda v. Arizona Supreme Court case, police now have to tell those accused of a crime that they have the right to remain silent, and if they say something it can be used against them in a court of law. They have the right to an attorney, and if they can’t afford one the government will provided one free of cost. Ernesto Miranda
