How should Miranda warnings be read for them to be valid?

The reading of Miranda warnings must occur out loud and verbatim from a card to ensure that the individual being interrogated fully understands their rights. This approach provides clarity and consistency, mitigating the risk of any misunderstandings regarding the rights being conveyed. By articulating the warnings exactly as they are prescribed, law enforcement helps to uphold the legal requirement that individuals are aware of their rights to remain silent and to have an attorney present during any questioning. This verbatim recitation is essential because any deviation can lead to challenges later in court about whether the warnings were delivered properly and effectively. Thus, reading the warnings precisely as mandated safeguards the integrity of the interrogation process and the rights of the accused.
