Discuss and describe three interrogation situations where Miranda warnings are not required
What will be an ideal response?
The first would be the public safety exception. This is a situation where there would exist an exigent circumstance that could reasonably endanger the public. Such was the case where the armed suspect was fleeing police, and before being caught hid a firearm in a location that was accessible and a possible danger to the public. Secondly, most courts have held that official, routine questioning of the alien does not require a Miranda warning, even if that questioning results in incriminating statements from the alien. And lastly, undercover officers conducting investigations while not disclosing their true identity do not have to give Miranda warnings and do not have to identify themselves.
