District Court of Appeal of Florida August 17, 2001, No. 5D01-331 (State v. DeSantiago)

HARRIS, J.

The purpose of Miranda1 is not to reward the defendant because of police overreaching; it is to deny law enforcement the benefits derived from the overreaching in order to discourage such improper police conduct. Evidence properly obtained, however, should not be suppressed merely because of subsequent police improprieties.
