I thought this was only necessary if the police are going to question you.

- privong 11y agoIt appears that it is only necessary when there is going to be questioning/interrogation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miranda_warning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miranda_warning Though, it seems as though the police can skip the miranda rights bit and interrogate, if they don't want to use subsequent statements or information in court. There's also the "public safety exception", which doesn't seem to apply for the situation in this particular account.
