When are Miranda Warnings required?
What will be an ideal response?
Many people believe that Miranda rights apply whenever the police begin to question a person. This is not the case; if the person being questioned is not in custody, Miranda rights do not apply. Simple police questioning, or even a full-blown interrogation, is not enough to trigger the protections afforded by the Fifth Amendment. For Miranda protection to apply, the person subjected to such questioning must be in police custody.
