In order to comply with the Miranda ruling, the officers need to ensure that suspects provide an intelligent and voluntary waiver to their Miranda rights before there is any questioning. In case a suspect requests an attorney, then it is necessary for the police to cease further questioning till there is an attorney, or if the suspect then contacts the police again. When dealing with person who cannot reliably understand their Miranda rights like the mentally handicapped and those below age, officers need to question the suspects in the presence of a lawyer.
