We'll learn:
- The two magic words: interrogation + custody = Miranda applies
- When someone is technically “in custody” (spoiler: just being in jail isn’t enough)
- What counts as “interrogation” and why cops asking casual questions can still trigger suppression
- How silence, vague mumbles, and unclear requests can blow up your suppression argument
- The IC-CAVE mnemonic, so you never forget the key exceptions like public safety or waivers
Miranda is the kind of topic that shows up disguised as something easy, then wrecks you with a custody twist or a trick question about re-initiation. Learn the rules, spot the IC triggers, and you’ll be ready for anything the bar throws at you.
