Re: reading your rights

The law requires you to be advised of your Miranda rights when you are taken into custody, and requires that you waive your miranda rights before you are questioned. Custody means when police, by their actions or words, indocate that you are not free to leave. Custody does not mean formal arrest, or transport to the stationhouse.
