The Miranda warnings originated in a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, which set forth the following warning and accompanying rights: 1  You have the right to remain silent; 2  Anything you say can be used against you in a court of law;
However, the second part of the Miranda warning protects a suspect's Sixth Amendment right to counsel, and this is triggered not by the suspect's custodial status but whether criminal charges have been filed against him. Take, for example, People v. Viray (2005) 134 Cal.App.4th 1186.
