California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Iniguez, E067733 (Cal. App. 2017):
individual is in custody for purposes of Miranda. . . . Save as they are communicated or otherwise manifested to the person being questioned, an officer's evolving but unarticulated suspicions do not affect the objective circumstances of an interrogation or interview, and thus cannot affect the Miranda custody inquiry." (Stansbury v. California (1994) 511 U.S. 318, 324.)
