Should the Miranda Rights Be Changed?

Miranda's Failure
Professor Stephen Schulhofer found an initial small effect of Miranda, but said that after the first few years its effect has been “essentially nil.” Professor Richard Leo, in a more recent study, came to the same conclusion: that Miranda has had no impact on either confessions or convictions.

Should Miranda rights be abolished?

The exclusionary rule and the Miranda warnings should be abolished. The Miranda rule blocks law enforcement from obtaining confessions during police interrogations. It sets free guilty criminals so they can victimize society again. ... One replacement for Miranda would be to videotape or record police interrogations.

What should be added to the Miranda rights?

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you.
