Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Miranda warnings are only required when there is custodial interrogation, meaning the suspect is in custody and being questioned by law enforcement. Lineups do not involve questioning or interrogation, and therefore Miranda warnings are not required before placing a suspect in a lineup. The privilege against self-incrimination applies any time a suspect is being questioned or providing testimonial evidence, regardless of whether it is in a court proceeding. However, since there is no questioning or testimonial evidence required in a lineup, the privilege against self-incrimination is not implicated. Lineups are considered a critical stage in the proceedings, but that is not directly relevant to whether Miranda warnings are required.
