In the UK, when police arrest a suspect, they must tell the person that what crimes they are suspected of committing that has lead to the arrest and they will then issue the arrest caution:

"You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned, something which you later rely on in court."

The exact wording does not need to be used. Once the arrest caution is issued, the issuing officer must ensure the suspect understands.

They say a series of phrases known as the Miranda rights (because of an important trial in which a defendant was found guilty without exercising his rights). it usually goes along the lines of * You are under arrest. * 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 to you.

Under a standard arrest, the law enforcement officer is required to inform you of what crime you're being arrested for.

Unlike what the average police sitcom shows, the Miranda Rights are not required upon arrest, although may be given from time-to-time.

you are under arrest for (the charge is named here). You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be held against you in the court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney and have one present during questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you.

Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you?

This can vary slightly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but the above is typical of what must be said to anyone arrested. In some jurisdictions the suspect is asked "Do you understand this?" after each and every sentence.

[the above is known as "Miranda Rights" named after Ernesto Miranda who was arrested in Arizona in 1966 and never told he had the ability to speak to a lawyer and he didn't have to talk to police. His case went all the way to the US Supreme Court. The case's name is "Miranda vs Arizona"]

Additional: Contrary to widespread popular belief this warning need not be given on EVERY arrest (e.g.: certain misdemeanors, ordnance violations, and traffic arrests), and although it DOES occur frequently - it need not be given at the moment of arrest either.

HOWEVER - it must be given PRIOR TO the beginning of any interrogation having to do with the crime itself. Customarily the officer/detective interviewing the arrestee about the crime will re-Mirandize the arrestee prior to the start of questioning - even if they were Mirandized at the scene of the arrest.

They tell you what you are under arrest for and read you your 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 can not afford one, one will be appointed to you."

You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned, something which you later rely on in court.

What do UK police say when they arrest you?

This is what the British Police say when they arrest. There are 2 types, suspicion and arrest. They are similar, but not exactly the same. They are: Suspicion (*****) I'm arresting you on suspicion of (*****). You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defense, if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given as evidence. Do you understand? Arrest (*****) I'm arresting you for (*****). You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defense, if you do not mention when queestiones something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given as evidence. Do you understand? Do you notice the difference? If you don't the difference is on suspicion it's 'on suspicion of' and on arrest it's 'for'.

What do French police say when arresting someone in France?

There is no "Miranda warning" formula or similar thing to be read to the arrested person. Police officiers give the information they want at the time of the arrest, usually something along the line of "we're going to sort that matter out at the station". When back at the police station, the arrested person will be interviewed by a detective who will inform him that he is under police custody and inform him of his legal rights (have someone informed of his arrest, see a lawyer, a medical doctor, etc..) before proceeding with the interview on the facts.

When the police book you in after they arrest you without a warrant can they charge you with a crime before they get a warrant in the state of Texas?

A warrant is an order for an arrest issued by the court. But many arrests do not need a warrant. If you punch someone in the face, and police are called, you will be arrested without a warrant, and one will not be needed. If say, you failed to show up in court, then a warrant for your arrest will be issued, to alert all officers that you should be arrested on sight. So the warrant itself is not the thing 'allowing' you to be arrested.
