Answer to Question 1

Custody - Typically an arrest.
Interrogation - Express questioning (for example, Where were you on the night of the crime?) or the functional equivalent of a question. The definition of interrogation is important in the Miranda context because Miranda warnings do not need to be read if a person is not technically interrogated.

Answer to Question 2

Many people believe that Miranda rights apply whenever the police begin to question a person. This is not the case; if the person being questioned is not in custody, Miranda rights do not apply. Simple police questioning, or even a full-blown interrogation, is not enough to trigger the protections afforded by the Fifth Amendment. For Miranda protection to apply, the person subjected to such questioning must be in police custody.
