THE AUTHOR REVIEWS FEDERAL APPELLATE CASE LAW OUTLINING JUDICIAL ATTITUDES TOWARD THE EXCLUSION OF INCRIMINATING STATEMENTS MADE DURING THE BOOKING PROCESS AND STUDIES THE APPLICABILITY OF BOTH THE FIFTH AMENDMENT AND THE MIRANDA SAFEGUARDS TO BOOKING. HE CONCLUDES THAT STRICT APPLICATION OF MIRANDA TO ALL BOOKING QUESTIONS WOULD COMPLETELY FRUSTRATE THE MAINTENANCE OF NECESSARY POLICE ADMINISTRATIVE RECORDS YET EXEMPTING ALL QUESTIONING DURING BOOKING FROM MIRANDA SAFEGUARDS WOULD BE VIOLATIVE OF SUSPECTS' CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. A COMPROMISE RULE IS SUGGESTED, WHICH ALLOWS AN ARRESTING OFFICER TO COMPEL A SUSPECT TO REVEAL ONLY HIS NAME AND ADDRESS BEFORE THE MIRANDA WARNINGS HAVE BEEN GIVEN AND AN INTELLIGENT WAIVER OF RIGHTS OBTAINED.
