v. Greene, 332 N.C. 565, 577-78, 422 S.E.2d 730, 737 (1992), whether the suspect is in the presence of uniformed officers, Garcia, 358 N.C. at 397, 597 S.E.2d at 737, and the nature of any security around the suspect, State v. Jackson, 348 N.C. 52, 56, 497 S.E.2d 409, 411, cert. denied, 525 U.S. 943, 142 L. Ed. 2d 301 (1998). Defendant is an adult male with prio leave the interview room without supervision or escort, we believe it unlikely that any civilian would be allowed to stray through a police station. Defendant was in an area not open to the public, and the prevention of unsupervised roaming in such a space is hardly the type of restriction that a reasonable person would associate with a formal arrest. See State v. Medlin, 333 N.C. 280, 290-92, 426 S.E.2d 402, 407-08 (1993) (<HOLDING>). Thus, under the totality of the
holding that the defendant who was constantly in the presence of officers and escorted to the rest room was not in custody and it is also unlikely that anyone would have been permitted to wander unmonitored around police headquarters holding a defendant was not in custody for purposes of miranda after he consented to go to police headquarters holding that it was reasonable for police officers to take all the arrested couples personal belongings from a hotel room and bring the belongings to police headquarters holding that public safety exception applies if and only if two conditions are satisfied 1 that the defendant might have or recently have had a weapon and 2 that someone other than police might gain access to that weapon and inflict harm with it and that while second prong would not apply for instance if the police entered a defendants room handcuffed him and placed him on a chair in the hallway outside his room it might apply if defendant was unrestrained and had turned back into his room to retrieve his identification when questioned by the police holding that a vehicle was readily mobile even though it was locked and its owner was in police custody because other individuals might also have access to the car
