General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Oregon v. Mathiason No. 76-201 Decided January 25, 1977 429 U.S. 492
ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI
TO THE SUPREME COURT OF OREGON
Syllabus
Where respondent, in response to a police officer’s request voluntarily came to a police station for questioning about a burglary and was immediately informed that he was not under arrest, and, at the close of a half-hour interview, left the station without hindrance, respondent was not in custody "or otherwise deprived of his freedom of action in any significant way," Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 444, so as to require that his confession to the burglary obtained during such interview be suppressed at his state criminal trial because he was not given Miranda warnings prior to being questioned.
Certiorari granted; 275 Ore. 1, 549 P.2d 673, reversed and remanded.
