Line 51:
* Marcus starts with the ''Miranda'' Warnings in the car chase climax of ''[[Bad Boys]]''. But, of course, since the villain is in a another car, it's more of a [[Pre-Mortem One-Liner]].
** Mike does it in the sequel.
{{quote|'''Marcus:''' What are you ''doin{{'}}''?
'''Mike(grimly):''' Getting it out of the way. }}
* Parodied in ''[[Undercover Blues]]''.
Line 103:
* Many writers add "editorial comments" from the arresting officer, as with this example from ''[[The Closer]]'':
{{quote|'''Sanchez''': "...any stupid thing you say will be used against you. You have the right to an attorney. If your broke ass can't afford one, one will be provided..."}}
* An episode of ''[[Bones]]'' featured Booth arresting and Mirandizing a suspect in a hurry, since he's on an international airplane that's seconds from landing...and once it touches down, Booth doesn't have jurisdiction. Of course, this is [[YouArtistic FailLicense Law Forever|patently ridiculous]]. ''Miranda'' warnings are not necessary for a valid arrest; they are concerned with statements by the arrested suspect. "You're under arrest" would have been enough for jurisdictional purposes, with the ''Miranda'' warnings coming at Booth's leisure...if international jurisdiction worked like that anyway, which it (probably) doesn't.
* In one episode of ''[[Castle]]'' this crosses with [[Lying to the Perp]]. Beckett and Castle both insist that Beckett did not read a small time crook his rights and that he is free to go. The real ruse works in that they aren't after him, but his boss, who would see him walk out of the precinct (with suspicious ease) and assume he was working with the cops. The crooks only chance at survival is to implicate himself further so that the cops would arrest him, and thus keep him in custody.
** Spoofed in a later episode:
