eee
(3) The warnings and waiver are required where a person
has been previously charged with a crime|by indictment, information
or presentment for an initial appearance and is subsequent ly|
interviewed about the pending charge or alclosely|related
offense. |An offense is considered closely related to the charged
offense when it is essentially the same crime or a lesser
included offense. If, however, the crime charged and the offense
under investigation each require proof of at least one additional
fact, they are not considered closely related. Therefore, a
person charged with a burglary who is subsequently released on
bond could be interviewed regarding a murder that occurred during
that burglary without first being warned of his/her rights and
waiving those rights because murder is not a closely related
offense to burglary.| (See (4) and (7).)
(4) When the conditions requiring the advice of rights
specified in Section 7-3.2 (1) - (3) do not exist, the interviewing
Agents are only required to advise a person of their names and
official identities and the nature of the inquiry.
(5) The warning and waiver of rights is not required
prior to a request for general background information contained in
standard booking questions. To f:t within this exception, the
question must be one that is routinely asked of individuals in FBI
custody and there must be a clear administrative, as opposed to
investigative, need for the information requested.
(6) The warning and waiver of rights is not required when
questions which are reasonably prompted by a concern for public safety
are asked. For example, if Agents make an arrest in public shortly
after the commission of an armed offense, and need to make an
immediate inquiry to determine the location of the weapon, such
questions may be asked, even of an in~custody suspect, without first
advising the suspect of the warnings contained in Form FD-395. This
public safety exception could also apply to other situations where
imminent threat(s) to the safety of law enforcement officers
or member(s) of the public could be alleviated by questions necessary
to neutralize that threat.
(7) The warning and waiver of rights is not required when
questions regarding|crimes not closely related to charged| offenses are |
being asked by a cellmate informant. The informant may be either an
inmate placed for that purpose or an undercover law enforcement
officer. |A crime that is not closely related to the offense charged | |
is one that meets the requirement of subsection (3) above.
