Self-interest. The Miranda rule is counter to the self-interest of the police. The job of the police is to solve crimes, and they will find ways to get around a rule that interferes with the accomplishment of their main goal. Scope. The courts cannot supervise every interrogation that is undertaken throughout the United States. There simply are too many arrests, too many defendants, and too many interrogations and confessions.

For example, a confession that is inadmissible in evidence may be used to cross-examine a suspect who takes the stand at trial in his or her own defense (Harris v. New York, 401 U.S. 222 [1971]). The Court also has provided the police with significant flexibility on the required reading of the Miranda rights (Florida v. Powell, 559 U.S. 50 [2010]). Expertise.
