The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Vega v. Tekoh that law enforcement officers cannot be sued individually under Section 1983 for failing to read Miranda rights, even if they knowingly do so and coerce a statement. The Court determined that a Miranda violation is not a constitutional violation itself, and the existing criminal remedy of excluding evidence is sufficient protection. This decision limits civil recourse for individuals whose Miranda rights are violated during custodial interrogations.
