Will my case be dismissed if I was not read my rights?
Jay Kirschner Fort Pierce Dui Lawyer Most people incorrectly believe that police officers always have to inform individuals of their Miranda rights, and if they do not, then the case has to be dismissed. There are instances when it is appropriate for law enforcement officers to not give the Miranda warnings, and statements made by an individual can be used against them. However, statements by the accused driver may be deemed “inadmissible,” and cannot be used against the driver if it involves a situation in which the officer had to advise the driver of the Miranda warnings, or if the statements fall under what is known as “the accident report privilege.” You owe it to yourself to have your case reviewed by an experienced DUI attorney who will analyze the facts of your case, item by item.
