Final answer:

Miranda warnings are compulsory only during custodial interrogations; hence, they are not required during 'custody without interrogation'.

Step-by-step explanation:

Miranda warnings are not needed in the situation of custody without interrogation. According to the precedent set by Miranda v. Arizona, police officers are required to read the Miranda warnings to individuals only when they are both in custody and subject to interrogation.

This encompasses the right to remain silent, the right to have counsel present during interrogations, and the awareness that anything said can be used against them in a court of law.

If an individual is in custody but not being interrogated, or if the individual is being interrogated without being in custody, the Miranda warnings are not necessary.
