Mathiason, in response to a telephone call, the defendant therein voluntarily came to a police station for questioning about a burglary, was immediately informed that he was not under arrest, and left without hindrance at the close of his interview. His freedom to depart was not restricted in any way. The Supreme Court held that this was not a custodial interrogation because there was no indication that Mathiason's "freedom to depart was restricted in any way." Id. at 495. The opinion holds Miranda to be inapplicable because Mathiason was not "deprived of his freedom of action in any significant way." (429 U.S. at p. 495.)
