The Miranda Statute is a very serious element to the arrest and arraignment of an offender. Depending on their circumstances, law enforcement is pretty thorough about reading an arrestee their rights. If they are taken into custody without being Mirandized, there is a motion your attorney can file for release based upon this - but be very sure that this advise actually fits the facts in this case.
