State the facts of the case and explain the significance of the U.S. Supreme Court case New York v. ...

New York v. Quarles created what is known as the public safety exception to
Miranda. This exception declares that if giving the Miranda warnings to a suspect
before questioning him/her would endanger an officer or somebody nearby, the
officer can dispense with the warnings before interrogation can start.
The facts of the case are simple. A woman came up to two police officers and told
them she had been raped by a man carrying a gun who had just gone into a
supermarket nearby. One officer ran to the store and saw Quarles, who fit the
woman's description. This officer briefly lost sight of Quarles, then saw him again,
pulled his own gun and ordered Quarles to stop and put his hands over his head. The
officer then frisked Quarles and discovered an empty shoulder holster. After
handcuffing Quarles, the officer asked him where the gun was. Nodding to some
nearby cartons, Quarles said, the gun's over there.. Among the cartons, the officer
found a loaded revolver.
