http://le.alcoda.org/publications/point_of_view/files/Miranda1.pdf Brief (for covering such a subject) instruction aimed at cop-on-the-street to know not when Miranda warning is needed but when it is not.
It notes, among other tings, that just because you have been seized (when considering 4th Amendment issues) there is not always a requirement for you to receive a Miranda warning before you are questioned. It's really not that hard to understand, but it does make you want to cuss and bang your head on a brick wall.
Among other things it gives insight into handcuffing "for officer safety" - they say that's not custodial. Also goes over several situations where "You are free to leave" may not in fact be true and thus require a Miranda warning.
As the authors note, life is not TV and not every time the cops ask you questions requires you be given a Miranda warning.
stay safe.
