Miranda is only for when you are arrested and they intend to question you.

Unless there are more facts about the persons and events in question than stated above that would make considering whether additional qualifications apply, the ordinarily only prohibition against police and other law enforcement officers questioning an individual applies when they know or, maybe, but depending on some additional facts you also do not state, have very good reason to know that the person being questioned is represented by an attorney who had not very clearly consented to their questioning the lawyer's client.
Can they ask questions without Miranda and have you help them find items that may incriminate you?
The rules established by the Miranda case as later expanded and also qualified by the courts do not forbid police questioning. Instead, they spell out the kinds of circumstances when police and prosecutors may or may not later use the information they obtain from questioning as evidence in court. Also in this connection, the facts as stated above do not contain any information about whether Miranda is even relevant to the questioning to which you refer since, among other things, you do not say whether the person being questioned is only a witness compared with being a target of a pending or proposed prosecution or, even if she is a defendant or probable such, whether she was in police custody when being questioned compared with being free if she wished just to leave and not speak with the police.

Yes, if you haven't been arrested yet, or held in custody, and you're foolish enough to answer police interrogation.

They can ask anything they want, if you're pig-ignorant enough to answer them.

They can ask all the questions they want. There is no law that says that you MUST answer those questions truthfully. It is not necessary for cops to issue Miranda warnings before questioning during a search. You already have those rights. No matter how the info was obtained, that info can be used against you in a court of law. The one thing I have never liked about the Miranda warnings is the part where we hear, "Anything you say can and will be used against you". Excuse me? A cop asks "What is your name?". How is that going to be "used against me"? Those two words, "WILL BE" means that any word you speak is not in your favor. So 'tis best to keep your frickin mouth shut.

Not exactly. Miranda applies when you are facing a "custodial interrogration." You have to be in police custody, which is broader than being under arrest, and you have to be interrogated, which means the police intend to elicit incriminating information from you. Note that Miranda is only "needed" for the answers to be admissible against you in court. They're irrelevant if the police don't intend on arresting/charging you, are getting information about a third person, or simply won't use anything you say against you.

Actually there is, Richard. It's what Martha Stewart went to prison for, and what Roger Clemens and Miguel Tejada are being investigated for. You don't have to answer the questions, but if you do you must do so truthfully. The federal law is known as "section 1001" and many states have similar laws.

Depending on the circumstances, it can be highly incriminating. Or not.

You do know there is no exact words that the police must use, Richard? They must clearly inform the suspect of certain rights. But there's no script - that's only on the TV shows you base your legal knowledge on.

This section 1001 may have been included in the numerous charges filed against Stewart but was not the primary case. Ok let's take a look at this law you cite. title 18 Part 1 Chpater 47 section 1001. a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully Notice something peculiar here? this law specifically defines the areas in which it can be applied. IMNSHO, this means that this law does NOT get applied to the general populace. IOW, this law gets applied to members of Congress, or the immediate people directly connected with the 3 main branches of the US government within their official duties thereof. It can not be applied to persons who refuse to answer simple questions asked by the average cop on the beat. After all, I am guaranteed "the right to keep silent".

Whoever coined the adage, "Too bad that ignorance isn't painful." must have been thinking of you. Don't you get tired of being wrong all the time?

It applies to anyone making statements on matters "within the jurisdiction" of any branch of the federal government, i.e., anyone to whom federal law applies. That's just about everybody in the US, so it's fair to say that it applies to the "general populace." Of course, the "average cop on the beat" won't be asking questions on federal matters. It's against the law to lie to an FBI agent or an investigator for the SEC (the executive branch), to a federal magistrate (the judicial branch), or to a Congressional committee (legislative branch).
After all, I am guaranteed "the right to keep silent".
So you are. Why don't you avail yourself of that right and stop making a fool of yourself? (Title 18 in no way abrogates your right not to talk to federal authorities. If you decide to waive that right, just be sure to tell the truth.)

You're a buffoon. A criminal investigation is within the jurisdiction of the executive branch, as the FBI has jurisdiction to investigate. The law does apply to the "general population" as long as they lie to a government official over something the official has jurisdiction to investigate.

You're clearly wrong, Richard. It's what Martha Stewart was charged with, and she is not in any way affiliated with the government.
After all, I am guaranteed "the right to keep silent".
Yes, you can keep silent - and YOU should, Richard. But if you choose to speak, you can't lie. It's that simple.

Martha Stewart was busted for insider trading. Now let's get back to the topic. In the course of an officer serving a search warrant, is that officer allowed to ask questions without the advice of an attorney or having been "Mirandized"? The answer is yes the officer can ask questions. Do you have to be truthfull at this point in time? As I see it, NO. Do recall mister attorney, that the search warrant is merely a tool to discover evidence and seize that evidence. If the officer knows you are lieing to him, then why is he asking the question? Just to hear your response? Maybe. I have the legal right not to incriminate myself. If I truthfully answer a particular question, that response could put me in jail. So personally, I would invoke the 5th amendment as a response whether or not the officer likes it. As I see it, it is up to the DA and law enforcement to prove their case against me. In court, all I must do, is show up.

She was found guilty of obstruction of justice and lying to investigators, violations of section 1001. See, for example, <http://money.cnn.com/2004/03/05/news/companies/martha_verdict/>. She was not charged with, much less convicted of, anything relating to insider trading. In fact, it was precisely because she obstructed justice and lied to investigators that she couldn't be charged with those crimes.
Now let's get back to the topic. In the course of an officer serving a search warrant, is that officer allowed to ask questions without the advice of an attorney or having been "Mirandized"? The answer is yes the officer can ask questions.
Of course the officer can ask. But the question is whether the answers can be used in court against the person giving them. For that, the answer is "it depends."
Do you have to be truthfull at this point in time? As I see it, NO.
Of course you see it that way, but you're wrong, as usual. Executing a search warrant is within the jurisdiction of the executive branch - the FBI. So if in the course of executing a search warrant, an FBI agent questions you and you lie to them, you are violating section 1001.
Do recall mister attorney, that the search warrant is merely a tool to discover evidence and seize that evidence. If the officer knows you are lieing to him, then why is he asking the question? Just to hear your response? Maybe.
The officer won't know at the time you are lying to him. FOr example, suppose he asks if you have any drugs or illegal guns in the house and you say "no." Well, he won't take your word for it and will execute the search warrant. If a gun is found in your dresser, that's pretty good evidence you lied to him. If you said you didn't live there, but then he finds your driver's license with that address listed on it, that's pretty good evidence you lied to him. And so on.
I have the legal right not to incriminate myself. If I truthfully answer a particular question, that response could put me in jail. So personally, I would invoke the 5th amendment as a response whether or not the officer likes it.
That's fine. You don't have to answer any questions. You've been told this several posts ago, Richard. But if you do answer, you must tell the truth.

No, she wasn't. In fact, that's the reason for the sympathy for her unsympathetic self. She was never indicted for selling her ImClone stock based on a tip from the owner that the stock would take a hit on bad news from the FDA. She was convicted for lying about receiving the tip.

Some people are students of the obvious; you are a master. None of these points is under dispute by anyone in this thread. Have you figured out yet that 18USC1001 applies to you even though you're not a member of Congress?

Richard, first of all it is spelled "lying," not "lieing." Second, its for a jury to decide, depending on all of the facts and evidence. Maybe you're lying, maybe you're not. Maybe you'd get away with it, maybe you wouldn't. But that doesn't mean it is legal to do, which is what you initially claimed.
