Miranda rights are only required to be read prior to interrogating a subject, not prior to interviewing them. Interrogation is typically more formal and confrontational than an interview and may involve more accusatory language and tactics. The purpose of Miranda rights is to inform the subject of their right to remain silent and their right to an attorney during interrogation.
