A motorist has been arrested and is about to face ordinary questioning about an alleged offense, with no emergency exception. Which protections apply?
Correct answer: The right to remain silent and the right to an attorney.
Why
Before ordinary custodial interrogation, the required safeguards include warnings about silence, use of statements and an attorney, appointed when applicable. An ordinary brief roadside traffic stop is usually different from custody, but arrest-like restraint can trigger these protections before reaching a station. Routine licence and identification duties are separate. Do not assume that silence or counsel rights never apply beside a road.
