Sadly, this might be the one thing that saves it honestly. The public at large actually is familiar with the concept of Miranda rights through media and might kinda fully understand what it's removal would mean for them.
"What's the matter? Everyone already knows the Mirinda rights stuff, have you never watched TV? This actually saves time for the cops so they can go arrest someone else faster" :so-true:

I really don't think so. A post-ruling cop show episode sets the tone...
Perp: "Aren't you gonna read me my rights?"
Cop: "Exemption."
Perp: "Exemption? What the fuck is that? I don't got rights?"
Cop: "We found evidence at the scene. Did you kill her?"
During the trial part of the episode the long-haired ACLU lawyer argues his client's rights were trampled upon. The prosecutor makes fun of the legal understanding of the long-haired ACLU lawyer. The judge chastises the prosecution for the comment but sides with the prosecutor that the defendant's rights were untrampled upon.
The lawyer protests in vain. The tone of the courtroom drama changes in a way the defendant is in actuality a perp again. The cop gets a nickname during this very important trial and a surprisingly prominent arc in the episode. He's the "exemption cop". Both his parents were lawyers and it was expected he'd become a lawyer too but that line of work wasn't for him. Unlike his parents he wanted to be actively involved in the community to make it a better place.
Eventually the perp gets sentenced to 50 years for his crime. After the episode is broadcast - the showrunner's minions check social media for chatter about the cop. The provisional plan is that next season the exemption cop will get a big promotion and become a reoccurring character. He will illustrate how being a beat cop is "hard but important job and a lot tougher than some people make it."
Miranda is part of our culture! Do they not realize the decades of entertainment that this move will render irrelevant?

How will I know my arrest status if "am I being detained?" doesn't get my ass mirandized?

Sir please step away from the lathe
A couple cops chat in the following episode...
"I got a joke for you. 'Mirandize? What's that? A minority's name?'"
Smiling: "I'm really lovin' this supreme court."
"I know - right? Hahaha."
"Hahaha."
Literally my first thought lmao
