Miranda rights are conveyed by the arresting officer to the prisoner, but you are nearly right
Befire Miranda v Arizona there was no such thing as rights. In this country you have the "Right to silence" which is the UK implementation of Miranda rights, but it is still Miranda rights none the less.
It is known as being "Mirandarised" here in the UK
It's only "the UK implementation of Miranda rights" in the same sense that The Tower of London is the UK implementation of The Pentagon
Befire Miranda v Arizona there was no such thing as rights.
No - the rights that are conveyed (the right to silence and the right to an attorney) are given by the fifth and sixth amendments to the constitution of the United States, so you are nearly right
No, you don't. You have the right not to say anything but it may harm your defence if you later rely on something that you haven't said. This is significantly different from a right to silence, and was changed in 1994. So you are nearly right
which is the UK implementation of Miranda rights, but it is still Miranda rights none the less.
No, it isn't. There are other rights which a suspect is read as part of their Miranda rights, which are supplementary to the right to silence, eg the right to a lawyer. These are not part of English law. So you are nearly right
It is known as being "Mirandarised" here in the UK
Maybe in Luton. However, if you Google "Mirandarised" and "UK" you get no UK links, and such gems as "You Get Paid For Being A Jerk". If you Google "Mirandarized" with the American spelling, you get lots of American links, which suggests that it might be an American term that you've heard on TV in the UK and assumed is the same over here as it is there. So you are nearly right
