Explain at least four of the circumstances where a Miranda warning does not have to be given to a person being questioned
What will be an ideal response?
• When the police do not ask the suspect any questions that are testimonial in nature. Such questions are designed to elicit information that may be used against the suspect in court. "Routine booking questions," such as the suspect's name, address, height, and eye color, however, are an exception to this rule. Even though answering these questions may provide incriminating evidence (especially if the person answering is a prime suspect), the Supreme Court has held that they are absolutely necessary if the police are to do their jobs.
• When the police have not focused on a suspect and are questioning witnesses at the scene of a crime.
• When a person volunteers information before the police have asked a question.
• When the suspect has given a private statement to a friend or some other acquaintance. Miranda does not apply to these statements so long as the government did not orchestrate the situation.
• During a stop and frisk, when no arrest has been made.
• During a traffic stop
