Most police departments issue credit card-sized Miranda cards that list the rights that must be read to and waived by the suspect before questioning may begin. Why is this practice a good idea?

What will be an ideal response?


First, an officer may omit a right if he or she relies on memory alone. Second, an officer might recite the rights using slightly different language. Finally, when the officer testifies in court about the reading of the rights, the officer can confidently state that he or she read the warning, word for word, from the card.
