Line 29:
* Used in ''[[Hyper Police]]'' (word for word, insofar as translations go), where Natsuki reads a giant tick his rights (it's that kind of a series). [[Played for Laughs]] when she [[Reality Is Unrealistic|has to read from a card to finish]].
* The English dub of the original ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'' series used these as a [[Lucky Translation]] for the joke where a panicked Mihoshi, a [[Space Police

Line 71:
* [[Nancy Drew]] references this when she strays onto the set of a cop film set in the '50s, noting that it would be anachronistic for [[The Cameo|Bruce Willis]] to read the rights. Bruce takes this in stride. The director does not. She does not, however, give the correct date.
* In ''[[Running Scared]]'', Billy Crystal plays a Chicago cop. In one scene, he's trying to arrest a crook who is holding a hostage at gunpoint. Crystal's character aims at the crook's head and recites, "You have the right to remain '''dead'''. Anything you do will be used against you. You have the right to a '''coroner'''. If you cannot afford one, we will appoint a medical examiner for you." (The bad guy surrenders.)
* ''[[Fatal Instinct]]''. Ned Ravine reads then to a bank robber - off [[Cue Card
* In the ''[[Inspector Gadget (film)|Inspector Gadget]]'' film, Gadget's hat includes a scrolling marquee that displays the Miranda rights during an attempted arrest.
* The plot of the 2012 ''[[21 Jump Street (film)|Twenty One Jump Street]]'' film is kicked off with a rookie cop failing to properly Mirandize a criminal because he only knew the first line from its use as a stock phrase. At the end, however, he and his partner are able to shout the rights in their entirety to the villain in unison.
Line 91:
* Misused on ''Rabbit Fall'' where the police constable is arresting the second boyfriend in a row to go to jail. She gives him the ''Miranda'' speech because he [[Motive Rant|keeps trying to talk about why he did it]]. What's wrong with that? She's a Canadian police officer.
* [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in an episode of ''[[Martial Law]]''. A female teenager who has had previous run-ins with police points out to Sammo that the lawyer who was sent to represent her didn't ask if she was read her rights, which tips off Sammo that [[Spotting the Thread|the lawyer was a fake]].
* Played with on ''[[NCIS]]''
** ''NCIS'' also occasionally reads a member of the military his or her "Article 31s." As a member of the armed forces, the suspect doesn't have ''Miranda'' rights, but Article 31 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice has a [http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/usc_sec_10_00000831----000-.html similar provision against compulsory self-incrimination].
* Parodied on ''[[Farscape]]'' ("Won't Get Fooled Again"):
