Protecting Miranda Rights for Kids Act
This bill requires law enforcement to notify a minor's parent, guardian, or legal custodian when arresting a minor under 18 for a law violation. It mandates that minors must consult with legal counsel in person before waiving their right to remain silent or to have a lawyer during custodial interrogation. Any statement obtained without this consultation, or without in-person counsel present, is inadmissible in federal criminal prosecutions. The law directly affects minors under 18 subjected to police questioning after arrest, altering standard Miranda procedures for this age group.
