Failure to Read Miranda Warnings

Any statements or confessions made by a DUI suspect while they are in police custody are inadmissible in court unless they were made voluntarily and after being advised of their Miranda rights. A driver can be considered “in custody” even if they have not been formally arrested for DUI. If the police fail to properly read Miranda warnings, any incriminating statements elicited after the person is considered in custody (such as an admission to being “drunk” or “buzzed”) cannot be used in court.
