Line 19:
People aren't always Mirandized upon arrest either; sometimes, the police will arrest a suspect, get him or her into an interrogation room and on camera, and ''then'' read his or her rights, to ensure that the suspect's response (usually waiving the rights) is recorded.
And obviously, undercover officers do not need to read rights.
Incidentally, if you are ever Mirandized, even if you are convinced you've done nothing wrong, the ''only'' words out of your mouth should be "I want a lawyer."

* [[The Closer]] violates Edwards in nearly every episode when suspects ask for lawyers and have questions asked as 'minor things' while the lawyer is coming.
* In the ''[[Due South]]'' episode "Asylum", Ray gets framed for murder and runs to the Canadian consulate, whereupon Fraser promptly arrests him and reads him his Miranda rights. Since Fraser's whole reason for arresting him in the consulate is to force the Chicago police to extradite him from Canada, you'd think he'd at least make the effort of using [[wikipedia:Miranda rights#Canada|the Canadian version]] of [[Reading Your Rights]].
* Parodied in a ''[[Kids in The Hall]]'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OWCtFTeyP4 sketch] that involves a very bored criminal robbing a very bored homeowner, then they're interrupted by a very bored police officer who tells the robber, "You have the right to blah blah blah..."
* Used on ''[[Boston Legal]],'' where the police almost never get through the warning without one of the [[Bunny Ears Lawyer|lawyers]] saying something smartass.
* Used rarely in ''Columbo'', most memorably when arresting a lawyer for murdering his mistress. Columbo coolly tells him he's going to read him his rights, pulls out a crumpled note and reads it verbatim.
* Parodied in the ''[[Community]]'' episode ''[[Community/Recap/S3
