No Miranda Warning Due Before Admitting to a Few Drinks

Custodial interrogation of a defendant occurs under inherently coercive circumstances, but that does not include routine questioning of restrained appellant. In State of Missouri v. Harvey D. Harris, the appellant was restrained due to paramedics strapping him to a backboard and he admitted to having a few drinks.  A Miranda warning was not required when speaking with Mr. Harris.
