While failing to read Miranda rights may seem like a legal loophole, this episode explains why it typically doesn't result in a case dismissal. Instead, host discussions explore how Miranda rights affect the admissibility of statements made post-arrest and when these rights actually come into play under California law.

Join us as we delve into the difference between DUI investigations and custodial interrogations, highlighting insights from Miranda v. Arizona, the U.S. Supreme Court case that shaped modern police procedure. San Diego DUI attorney Anna R. Yum breaks down the implications of a Miranda violation, clarifying when statements may be suppressed and how that affects the prosecution's ability to move forward. From traffic stops in Pacific Beach and Ocean Beach to arrests along Interstate 5 or in North Park, understanding this distinction is key.

With cases prosecuted by the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office across various courthouses—from downtown's Central Division to Vista and Chula Vista—every jurisdiction has unique nuances. This episode underscores the importance of scrutinizing every detail of a DUI case, not just whether Miranda warnings were issued.
