The People of the State of Colorado, Plaintiff-Appellant: v. Dimitry Pleshakov

Summary

The court held that Pleshakov was not subjected to custodial interrogation when he made statements during a roadside detention because the circumstances did not restrain him to a degree associated with formal arrest. Miranda warnings therefore were not required, and the trial court erred in suppressing the statements and invalidating Pleshakov's consent to search his apartment. The court reversed the suppression order.
