Police do not have to read you your Miranda rights in order to detain you, arrest you, or charge you with a crime. However, police are required to read you Miranda rights before questioning you. These rights include: The right to remain silent The right to have an attorney present during questioning, and if you can't afford one, to have a court-appointed defense attorney Anything you say can be used against you in a court of law Whether you were read your rights or not, it is best to speak with a lawyer who is knowledgable about your rights, and to always have a lawyer present during any questioning.
