Answer 1

In New York v. Quarles (1984), the Supreme Court ruled that Miranda rights do not have to be read if a suspect puts public safety at immediate risk. The Court established an "public safety" exception to the Miranda rule, allowing for statements made by a suspect in certain exigent circumstances to be admissible in court without the standard Miranda warning being provided first.
