I wonder if any of the law enforcement officials detaining Miranda and threatening him with jail if he didn't cooperate fully appreciated the irony of his last name at the time.

Not really, since the term you are referencing is not used in the UK.

Not from US, so I'm not sure I get it. Are you referring to this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miranda_warning http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miranda_warning

  On US television it's very common to hear something along the lines of "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 provided for you" when someone gets arrested. There's a page for it on tvtropes[1]. Obviously it's a "real thing" as well, but Miranda Rights have definitely entered US popular culture because of how often the above lines are heard on TV. I'm pretty sure that that's what TallGuyShort was referring to, and I know that the thought popped into my head as well. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MirandaRights http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MirandaRights edit sorry, deleted instead of editing because I'm bad at computers.

    > Miranda Rights have definitely entered US popular culture It came full circle. As part of a refusal[1] to overrule Miranda back in 2000, the Supreme Court noted "Miranda has become embedded in routine police practice to the point where the warnings have become part of our national culture.". Rehnquist even opened his oral announcement by reciting the warnings. America without Miranda is virtually unthinkable. Tragically, there's no equivalent cultural reminder of the 4th Amendment.

  Yes, that is correct. My apologies - I am not originally from the US either but I've heard it on a lot of police-themed movies, shows and games, and I assumed it was more widely understood.
