''Miranda v. Arizona'', 384 U.S. 436 (1966), was a landmark decision by the [[Warren Court]] establishing a new right of those accused of a crime to receive a series of warnings from police before being interrogated. These warnings, known as the "Miranda warnings," include:

:the right to remain silent

:the right to have an attorney presented

:the right to have an attorney appointed if desired

:the right to know that anything said can and will be used against the accused

Conservatives objected strenuously to this decision, which freed a convicted rapist and many other past and future criminals who had not received these warnings.
