Response to Budbaer
The judge was right, you are NOT automatically entitled to a mirandizing. Rights are verbally given when two factors are present 1) You are arrested AND 2) You are about to be questioned.
A lot of us get the wrong impression where we see the show "Cops" reading rights the second the put the cuffs on. Technically it isn't wrong. However, it isn't necessary either if questioning never takes place.
That's my public service for the evening...
