Your rights under the Miranda & Escobedo decisions are present at any Police interview, not just custodial ones. Custodial Interviews have been ruled coercive by their vary nature because your ability to leave is restricted. That is why a warning is required. Also, an answer stating that you do not wish to answer questions is not evidence of anything & cannot be used against you. That is why nobody is a target/subject of an investigation & is termed a Person of Interest. If SCOTUS gets more liberal, the Miranda Warning will also apply to them at some date.
