the Supreme Court of the United States
Syllabus

Garrity v. New Jersey, 385 U.S. 493 (1967), was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that law enforcement officers and other public employees have the right to be free from compulsory self-incrimination. It gave birth to the Garrity warning, which is administered by federal agents to suspects in internal and administrative investigations in a similar manner as the Miranda warning is administered to suspects in criminal investigations.
