In the United States, the Miranda warning or famously "You have the right to remain silent" is a type of notification customarily given by police to criminal suspects in police custody (or in a custodial interrogation) advising them of their right to silence and, in effect, protection from self-incrimination; that is, their right to refuse to answer questions or provide information to law enforcement or other officials. These rights are often referred to as Miranda rights. The purpose of such notification is to preserve the admissibility of their statements made during custodial interrogation in later criminal proceedings. The Miranda warning is part of a preventive criminal procedure rule that law enforcement are required to administer to protect an individual who is in custody and subject to direct questioning or its functional equivalent from a violation of their Fifth Amendment right against compelled self-incrimination. In Miranda v. Arizona, the Supreme Court held that the admission of an elicited incriminating statement by a suspect not informed of these rights violates the Fifth Amendment and the Sixth Amendment right to counsel, through the incorporation of these rights into state law. Thus, if law enforcement officials decline to offer a Miranda warning to an individual in their custody, they may interrogate that person and act upon the knowledge gained, but may not ordinarily use that person's statements as evidence against them in a criminal trial.
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in court. You have the right to talk to a lawyer for advice before we ask you any questions. You have the right to have a lawyer with you during questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish. If you decide to answer questions now without a lawyer present, you have the right to stop answering at any time.

Ss John Fisher and Thomas More Roman Catholic High School

A high school in East Lancashire, England, and is run by an evil witch and her evil accomplice, which sadly can not be named due to urban dictionary rules and guidance, however the evil witch and her accomplice has a reputation for causing the staff to run away in fear and quit their jobs. The school is basically a prison, with having more security fences built around the school, which is bad for students but good if you want to turn it into a military outpost; when you realise the high school is catholic, you do understand why the priests might want to contain the students.
Person 1: Have you hears of SS John Fisher and Thomas More Roman Catholic High School.
Person 2: Yeah, be aware of the teacher who confiscates your MacDonald chicken nuggets, he has a reputation of throwing books at students.
