Suburban Law Enforcement Academy (SLEA) Week 3 Practice Test

The warnings given during custodial interrogation are designed to protect a suspect’s Fifth Amendment rights. They typically tell you that you have the right to remain silent, that anything you say can be used against you, and that you have the right to an attorney (and that if you cannot afford one, one will be provided). The right to an impartial jury is a separate protection, but it applies at trial under the Sixth Amendment, not during police questioning. Since Miranda warnings focus on rights during interrogation, the item about an impartial jury is not part of those warnings.
