Confirm Miranda Rights Information (Form 153)

This document is the New Orleans Police Department's "Miranda Rights" form (NOPD Form 153). It's a standardized legal document used when a person has been arrested or detained in connection with a criminal investigation.

The form serves several critical purposes:

1. Constitutional Protection: It documents that officers have properly informed individuals of their constitutional rights as required by the landmark 1966 Supreme Court case Miranda v. Arizona.
2. Standard Advisement: It provides the exact wording officers must use when advising someone of their rights:
   • Right to remain silent
   • Warning that statements can be used in court
   • Right to an attorney
   • Right to appointed counsel if unable to afford an attorney
   • Right to stop answering questions at any time
3. Special Accommodations: The form includes additional provisions for:
   • Juveniles under 17 (requiring consultation with an attorney or parent/guardian before waiving rights)
   • Deaf or hearing impaired individuals (requiring an interpreter at no cost)
   • People with limited English proficiency (requiring interpretation in their primary language)
4. Legal Documentation: By requiring the signature of the person being advised, it creates evidence that:
   • The rights were properly communicated
   • The person understood these rights
   • Proper procedures were followed before any questioning
5. Case Processing: The form includes fields for date, time, location, and the specific crime being investigated, linking it to the specific case.
