Yep, and they can question you too. Miranda only kicks in when you’re under arrest. Otherwise they can question all day and detain you. So they’ll typically put it off until the last second possible. It’s a shakedown method.

"Miranda only kicks in when you’re under arrest."

Correct. And being in handcuffs is an "arrest" for purposes of the Miranda warning. Statements given while in handcuffs will generally be suppressed, with the exception of "exigent circumstances."

"Otherwise they can question all day and detain you."

Give an example of your statement.
