You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer for advice before we ask you any questions. You have the right to have a lawyer with you during questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish. If you decide to answer questions now without a lawyer present, you have the right to stop answering at any time.

Edit: Some clarification. I don't mean whether the arrestees will be given the information about their rights (which is ofc done everywhere in Europe? Maybe not in Belarus or Russia, dno). What I mean is that is there a very specific almost ritualistic text. Almost like the US cops basically need to learn a very specific poem. All over the US – a country of 330 million people – all cops will say exactly the same words in the same order.
