Legal Question in Traffic Law in Florida

Re: traffic law

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Miranda rights only have to be provided prior to any questioning if any statments will be made that may be used in court against you. If the police fail to read your rights prior to questioning, then any statements made will not be admissable. Generally, Miranda warnings are not read when stopped for a traffic violation.
