Identifying / Baseline Questions

General questions like name, where you're from, and where you were going that are not designed to elicit an incriminating response and do not require Miranda.

What Right Law Group attorneys say

Now, this is important because some police officers kind of use it as a squishy gray area to get around. And that's why you need criminal defense attorney to really analyze if they properly follow procedure. But basically the idea is if police are asking you identifying questions, or kind of baseline information, questions, like What is your name? Where are you from? Where were you going? What's going on here? Those are general questions that are not designed to elicit an incriminating response.
