Notification for the right to remain silent, the right to obtain legal counsel. My duty to inform you that you have the right to counsel : caution (charges) More a crime control model then a due process: conditions. Only if you are under arrest or have be detained: innocuous questions. Police can ask you your name, your address, things that are unrelated to the crime. In the usa, police cannot ask any questions once they have asked for a lawyer: miranda v. arizona (1966) Canadians refer to it as miranda as well" police inform people of their rights. Before 1966, in the usa, it was not mandated that the police give them their rights: controversy. Police in particular said it would detain them and keep them from doing their jobs. It would impact their investigation and significantly hinder their abilities to enforce the law.
