When will a police officer administer a Miranda warning to a suspect?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Bautista, 684 F.2d 1286 (9th Cir. 1982):

Any interview of one suspected of a crime by a police officer will have coercive aspects to it, simply by virtue of the fact that the police officer is part of a law enforcement system which may ultimately cause the suspect to be charged with a crime. But police officers are not required to administer Miranda warnings to everyone whom they question.... Miranda warnings are required only where there has been such a restriction on a person's freedom as to render him "in custody." It was that sort of coercive environment to which Miranda by its terms was applicable, and to which it is limited.
