, are read to criminal suspects when they’re arrested, informing them of their rights and that “anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.”

Justices held that Terence Tekoh could not sue the police officer who interrogated him, Carlos Vega, for allegedly violating his Fifth Amendment rights against “compelled self-incrimination” by not reading him his Miranda rights.
