What happens if my Miranda rights were violated? If a court determines that a Miranda violation occurred, the judge will order that any statements made by the defendant that were in violation of Miranda will be precluded from consideration at trial. Any other statements may still be admissible, however.
In Miranda v. Arizona (1966), the Supreme Court ruled that detained criminal suspects, prior to police questioning, must be informed of their constitutional right to an attorney and against self-incrimination.
The remedy for a violation of the standard is complete suppression of the statement and any evidence derived from the statement. The statement cannot be used as either substantive evidence of guilt or to impeach the defendant's testimony.
