“I find that the search of the backpack at the McDonald’s was improper, warrantless search. Therefore, those items found in the backpack during the search at the McDonald’s will be suppressed.” “Thank you. What’s your name?” “Mark.” “What is it?” “Mark.” “Mark?” “Yes, sir. “Mark what?” “Rosario.” “Rosario — someone called. They thought you were suspicious.” “As Miranda warnings were not given until some seconds after 9:48 in the morning, those statements made shortly before that, in response to improper custodial questions that were not merely a request for pedigree information, will be suppressed.”
