Criminal Law lawyer at Catchick Law, P.C.
One of the most misunderstood concepts in Criminal Law is the effect of not being "Mirandized." If one is not Mirandized, it does NOT mean their case is automatically dismissed. Rather, if an "un-Mirandized" suspect makes incriminating statements to the Police that were a product of "custodial interrogation," then those statement can be suppressed. For example, in Drunk Driving cases, the Police frequently do not Mirandize the suspect, because they don't need to try and get the suspect to verbally "admit" they were drunk - the Police can prove the person is drunk by their Breathalyzer or blood test results. As to your case, if you made any incriminating statements to the Police while you were in their "custody," and those statements were the product of police "interrogation," then you should be able to get those statements suppressed. Whether that results in your case being dismissed depends on how much the Police need your statements to prove their case. If you were arrested for allegedly being "drunk and disorderly," the Police probably don't need your statements to convict you. I hope that helps.

As with any charge, the prosecutor must prove the charge beyond a reasonable doubt. You will have to review the proof they have and if you believe they can't prove the charge, plead not guilty and take the matter to trial.

You can check with the Canadian authorities, but I don't think having a conviction on your record is going to prevent you from entering the country.
