Thanks to Hollywood, suspects thought that you always got read your rights upon arrest (the detective saying, “You have the right to remain silent,” as he slaps on the cuffs makes for a nice dramatic moment). In reality, the Miranda warning only happens if you’re being interviewed in custody. If they choose to interview you without being in custody—say, if they show up to your workplace under the guise of having a casual conversation—they don’t have to read you any rights at all.
