At the same time, the Court made it clear that it was not equating a violation of the\u00a0<em>Miranda\u00a0<\/em>rules with an outright\u00a0Fifth Amendment\u00a0violation.

Subsequent cases confirm that\u00a0<em>Dickerson<\/em>\u00a0did not upend the Court\u2019s understanding of the\u00a0<em>Miranda<\/em>\u00a0rules as prophylactic.

And when the Court adopts a constitutional prophylactic rule of this nature,\u00a0<em>Dickerson<\/em>\u00a0concluded, the rule has the status of a \u201cLa[w] of the United States\u201d that is binding on the States under the Supremacy Clause (as\u00a0<em>Miranda<\/em>\u00a0implicitly held, since three of the four decisions it reversed came from state court, 384 U.\u00a0S., at 491\u2013494, 497\u2013499), and the rule cannot be altered by ordinary legislation.\u00a0<em>Dickerson<\/em>\u00a0thus asserted a bold and controversial claim\u2014that this Court has the authority to create constitutionally based prophylactic rules that bind both federal and state courts\u2014but\u00a0<em>Dickerson<\/em>\u00a0cannot be understood any other way consistent with the Court\u2019s prior decisions. Subsequent cases confirm that\u00a0<em>Dickerson<\/em>\u00a0did not upend the Court\u2019s understanding of the\u00a0<em>Miranda<\/em>\u00a0rules as prophylactic. In sum, a violation of\u00a0<em>Miranda<\/em>\u00a0does not necessarily constitute a violation of the Constitution, and therefore such a violation does not constitute \u201cthe deprivation of [a] right .\u00a0.\u00a0. secured by the Constitution\u201d for purposes of \u00a71983.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2003\u2003(b)\u00a0A \u00a71983 claim may also be based on \u201cthe deprivation of any rights .\u00a0.\u00a0. secured by the .\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0<em>laws<\/em>.\u201d But the argument that\u00a0<em>Miranda<\/em>\u00a0rules constitute federal \u201claw\u201d that can provide the ground for a \u00a71983 claim cannot succeed unless Tekoh can persuade the Court that this \u201claw\u201d should be expanded to include the right to sue for damages under \u00a71983. \u201cA judicially crafted\u201d prophylactic rule should apply \u201conly where its benefits outweigh its costs,\u201d\u00a0<em>Shatzer<\/em>, 559 U.\u00a0S., at 106. Here, while the benefits of permitting the assertion of\u00a0<em>Miranda\u00a0<\/em>claims under \u00a71983 would be slight, the costs would be substantial. For example, allowing a claim like Tekoh\u2019s would disserve \u201cjudicial economy,\u201d\u00a0<em>Parklane Hosiery Co<\/em>. v.\u00a0<em>Shore<\/em>,\u00a0439 U.\u00a0S. 322, 326, by requiring a federal judge or jury to adjudicate a factual question (whether Tekoh was in custody when questioned) that had already been decided by a state court.
