The only reason to say this is because of a poor understanding of the right at issue. Miranda is not some pinnacle of civil liberties, and all these sanctimonious reactions are just examples of unthinking totemism. The exceptions to Miranda exist for a reason, and it is because there can be circumstances where Miranda warnings are unnecessary without infringing on civil liberties. Miranda is vastly misunderstood, and falsely lionized, as many of the reactions in this thread amply demonstration.
There's still no reason not to, particularly in this case, and if its sleazed some way to get anyone off, then perhaps the responses are warranted.
