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.

- nknighthb 13y ago> 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.
