Everyone has rights. However many people misconstrue the effect of not having them read to them. It doesn't mean that someone isn't guilty of a crime, but rather that statements that they made after being arrested, may not be presented angst them in court. You should have your daughter consult directly with an attorney in your area. Many offer a free or low cost initial consultation.

Good luck
