Q

What is custodial interrogation?

A

One of the most basic concepts of Miranda law is that it is triggered by “custodial interrogation,” i.e., it does not apply unless both “custody” and “interrogation” exist at the same time. If a minor is in “custody,” you need to comply with Miranda by giving the advisements and obtaining a waiver that is voluntary, knowing and intelligent prior to any “interrogation.”

Q

T/F – When it comes to public schools, school officials (principals, teachers, etc.) have no obligation to advise a student of their Miranda rights before questioning them about any violations of the law or school rules.

A

True. This is because questioning by school officials is not as “inherently coercive” as custodial interrogation by law enforcement officers.

Q

Re: Search and Seizure (4th Amendment rights) –Juveniles

In the area of consent, can a parent give law enforcement permission to search a toolbox located in their son’s room if the box is locked, only the son has the key and the minor exercises exclusive control and ownership?

A

No. While a parent generally does have authority to consent to a search of a child’s room and belongings, this power does not exist if the child has “staked out” an area or object as exclusively his own and the parent makes no claim of right, control, or possession over the object or its contents. Note: This is not the typical situation because parents normally do retain at least joint control and/or possession over a room, area, or container.

Q

T/F - Regarding searches of students and their belongings, generally, the U.S. Supreme Court has held that although searches by school officials still must be “reasonable” (considering the offense, age of suspect, extent of intrusion, scope, etc.) and “justified at the inception,” they do not need to be supported by probable cause or a search warrant. Reasonable suspicion is sufficient.

True
