At the end of The Shawshank Redemption, the DA who arrests Guard Captain Hadley reads the Miranda rights off a card. This scene takes place in 1966, the same year as the Miranda v. Arizona court case that required these rights to be read to a suspect upon arrest.

The Miranda rights would have been a new thing for the police so soon after the case. They probably don't have it memorized yet, or didn't want to forget or mess it up.

Miranda actually made a living autographing those cards for police officers after he was released from jail
