• Jeffrey Evans: You should consult an attorney for individual advice regarding your own situation.
• Toms & Evans: Bear in mind that the police are only required to give someone their Miranda warnings if the person is 1) in custody, meaning not free to leave, and 2) the police are questioning that person. If a police officer walks up to you and starts asking you questions but does nothing to restrain your freedom to leave, the police officer does not have to give you Miranda warnings and the police officer can use whatever you say. Likewise, if a police officer handcuffs you but does not ask you any questions beyond those aimed at determining who you are, the police officer does not have to give you your Miranda warnings and, if you speak without responding to questioning, the officer can use whatever you say against you.
