We could hold up to 24 hours with no charges being pressed. After that we either had to let 'em go, or charge 'em. And...no, fhqwhgads is absolutely correct. Often, the arresting officer is not the interviewing officer. It is only required to mirandize a supect before they are interviewed. However, just to keep collective asses covered, the arresting officer
will, often times, inform you of your rights. In the heat of things, it is not uncommon to forget. Especially when dealing with a combative suspect. That is why it is not uncommon for a suspect to be mirandized numerous times, before ever even being asked a single question about the offense that he/she is suspected of commiting.
