Miranda Rights and OWI Arrests

In People v Edwards, the Michigan Court of Appeals held that, under the right circumstances, Miranda rights might apply to preliminary questions during a drunk driving investigation. This case is unpublished, but I have advocated the position adopted by the Michigan Court of Appeals in this decision for many years. This case deserves a spot in any DUI lawyer's trial notebook.
