Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Pennsylvania v. Muniz (1990) case did not establish that police must read Miranda warnings to individuals suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This case specifically dealt with the admissibility of field sobriety tests as evidence in court and did not address the requirement for Miranda warnings. However, if police ask questions beyond routine ones and begin to interrogate the individual, then Miranda warnings would be required.
