Determine if the arrestee is capable of understanding (i.e. mental capacity, language, physical disability {hearing, sight), under the influence etc.) his/her Miranda rights. Until you can determine the arrestee’s ability to comprehend his/her rights you should avoid questioning him/her as any information gleaned may well be challenged in court.
