back on may 7th I had placed a call to local law enforcement to respond on home invasion at my private residence after quite a bit of time they arrived but did not come to my residence but requested I meet them outside which after I did I was simply asked what my name was said my name and was told a warrant was issued over a non violent misdemeanor charge(Theft in the third degree from Sept over approx. 2 years ago and was cuffed and booked the same day without being read Miranda rights was that legal ??? someone please let me know asap if possible(p.s sorry about any typing errors as I did not finish elementary school(I am legitimately serious
 
Yes, if there was a good warrant outstanding, you are subject to arrest at any time or place.
 
If a person has an outstanding warrant against them, they can be arrested for the warrant at any time.

You do not have to have your rights read to you at the time of detention, so this was perfectly legal.

You need to get your legal problems straightened out as soon as possible, it is never good to have outstanding warrants for any reason.

Good luck in the future.
