It seems that the purpose of Miranda Warnings are to advise the person being arrested and questioned of their Constitutional rights before they are taken into custody. I have noticed that in many cases that involve calming one party down while the Police Officer figures out what is happening at the scene is one situation that you would not need to read Miranda rights. Another situation that a Police Officer would not have to read Miranda Warnings is while serving a citation, ticket or warrant. When taking some one in to your custody or after apprehending a person to be taken in, it would be best to read Miranda Warnings.
