What requirement was established by Miranda v Arizona?

  1. Criminal suspects must be warned of their rights

  2. All suspects must have legal representation

  3. Police officers must record all interrogations

  4. Suspects can waive their right to remain silent

The correct answer is: Criminal suspects must be warned of their rights

Miranda v Arizona established the requirement that criminal suspects must be warned of their rights, such as the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. This is known as the Miranda rights or Miranda warning, which must be given to suspects before any custodial interrogation to ensure that they are aware of their rights under the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution. This ruling aims to protect suspects' Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination and ensure fairness in the criminal justice process.
