Another practice is for the arrestee (or someone nearby) to complain that they have been framed. The speech is done so often it may merely be subtitled as "Recites Caution". For the version used in the United States see Miranda Rights. For anything not US or UK see Reading Your Rights. Examples of You Do Not Have to Say Anything include:
