From U.S. Supreme Court Justia (https://supreme.justia.com/cases-by-topic/miranda-rights/)
"The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects people suspected of crimes from self-incrimination. In Miranda v. Arizona, the Supreme Court applied this principle to the context of police questioning. Miranda stands for the general rule that the prosecution cannot use statements against a defendant if they were obtained through police questioning while a person was in custody or deprived of their freedom of action, unless certain procedural safeguards are applied."
These are a few examples.
