Garrity rights protect government workers, such as police officers, firefighters, or city employees, from having their compelled statements used against them in a criminal trial. If your employer orders you to answer questions or risk discipline, what you say cannot later be used to prosecute you.
I am not questioning you for the purpose of instituting any criminal proceeding against you. During the course of the questioning, even if you do disclose information which indicates that you may be guilty of criminal conduct, neither your statements nor the fruits (products, results, etc.)
However, if they are threatened with dismissal for refusal to respond to questions (i.e., they are effectively compelled to cooperate), their statements cannot be used to pursue criminal prosecution. This immunity is known as Garrity Rights, after a 1967 US Supreme Court case, Garrity v. New Jersey.
If an employee makes false statements under Garrity protection, they can be prosecuted for making false statements, and their statements can be used against them in that prosecution.
Thus, where a Garrity warning promises the employee that he or she will not be forced to answer questions, the Kalkines warning promises the employee that he or she will not be criminally prosecuted for his or her answers.
