* ''Franchise/MenInBlack'': The novelizations of the first two films include one scene each where James Edwards (or Agent Jay) does a version of this - justified in that he's an officer of the NYPD when introduced. In [[Film/MenInBlack the first]], Kay shoots Jeebs' head, and Edwards (who has not yet joined the MIB and become Agent Jay) yells at him to drop his gun and "Don't make me shoot you" before Jeebs gets up as his head grows back. The novel expands this by having Edward start to Mirandize Kay, but get interrupted partway through when Kay tells him to lighten up, right before Jeebs revives.
-->'''Edwards''': "Read my lips, asshole. You are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. If you give up that right, anything you say can and will ''no doubt'' be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one-"
** [[Film/MenInBlackII The sequel]] has Jay doing a variation to Jeffrey, the giant worm, during its rampage through the subway:
-->'''Agent Jay''': "You have the right to remain ugly. You have the right to have your squirmy, extraterrestrial butt put in a sling for whiplashing me into that fruit stand and getting mashed banana all over my shirt. With the full powers vested in me as an agent of MIB, I hereby place you under arrest. Now pull your wiggly-ass self over!"

* ''Manga/DrStone'': Yo Uei used to be a police officer before the petrification, and apparently he always wanted to invoke the trope. When he [[spoiler:shoots Minister Ibara with the gun Senku made for him]], he then says "You have the right to remain silent", and seems quite happy about it.

* In one episode of ''Series/{{Hunter}}'', a group of teens spontaneously confess to accidentally killing a girl at a party, before the cops even had a chance to read them their rights, so the confession supposedly becomes inadmissible. This sparks a vigilante-kills-the-killers plot. In RealLife, the technicality wouldn't have applied in the case of a spontaneous confession, and even if it did, the police could investigate to find other evidence that would support the case.
