Miranda warnings are required only when a person is in custody and is being interrogated by the police. Custody means the person reasonably feels they are not free to leave. Interrogation covers questions or actions the police reasonably expect will elicit an incriminating response. When both conditions are present, warnings must be given to protect the suspect’s rights; otherwise, warnings aren’t required. If someone is in custody but not being questioned, or being questioned while not in custody, Miranda warnings aren’t triggered.
