Based on the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] ruling in ''[[Miranda v. Arizona]]'', after making an arrest, the police must inform the detainee of the [[Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution|Fifth Amendment]] and [[Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution|Sixth Amendment]] rights for statements made during questioning to be admissible as evidence against the detainee in court. A [[Miranda warning]] is required only when a person is in custody (i.e., is not free to leave) and is being interrogated, and the results of this interrogation are to be used in court.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.uscourts.gov/educational-resources/educational-activities/facts-and-case-summary-miranda-v-arizona|title=Facts and Case Summary - Miranda v.
