Sergeant is correct about Miranda. In my opinion and from my experince twoblock is wrong to say that 90 % of the cases are whitewashed. The facts are that about 90% fo the "beefs" against officers can not be sustained for various reasons. Many of the charges leveled at officers are because of sour grapes, a good defense is a good offense, etc..

There is ample case law on the books to show that "custody" is interpreted by appeals courts as: "if a reasonable person in the same situation would have felt they were not free to leave."

I am not in LE and never have been, but you are and should know this. I believe they only have to read you your rights and the time of the arrest. Correct?
As to Administrative Inquirey: (fishing) - Yor are correct. That is a legal way for which to extract information, which will be used against anyone, before he/she is arrested. If their is a civilian complaint against a LEO, this process (internal investigation) is used to whitewash the cop about 90% of the time. Occasionally the cop gets charged. If you have been a cop very long, I'll bet you have seen this happen. I make this determination from years of researching and taking notes then calculating the numbers.
If you are innocent I'll say again, get yourself a lawyer and answer only what he OKs.
