What is the name of your state? Colorado

Last Friday I was arrested of obstructing a peace officer, when I was arrested I was never read my Miranda rights. Is this legal? It is my understanding that with the exception of a dui, dwai, etc. a peace officer must do so. This has nothing to do with a traffic stop, this happened at my house. If more details are needed I will be happy to provide.

Thanks in advance.

Use the search function as this question has been answered many times. The police only need to read you your rights if they want to use your responses to a custodial interrogation in court. Otherwise, no harm, no foul.
