Dunaway v. New York, 442 U.S. 200 (1979), was a United States Supreme Court case that held a subsequent Miranda warning is not sufficient to cure the taint of an unlawful arrest, when the unlawful arrest led to a coerced confession.

The police did not have probable cause to arrest Dunaway, but had he tried to leave, they would have used force to prevent it.

Dunaway was read his rights under Miranda and subsequently confessed.

This type of detention was determined to intrude on interests protected by the Fourth Amendment.

Proper Miranda warnings did not attenuate the misconduct of the police and the confession should have been suppressed.
