Eugene LeQuire and Roger Thundershield appeal from a jury verdict finding them guilty as codefendants of a violation of the Dyer Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2312. LeQuire was sentenced to serve three years, and Thundershield to serve four years, under the provisions of 18 U.S.C. § 4208(a) (2). The only issue on appeal is whether certain inculpatory statements made by them to a Mississippi highway patrolman and to an F.B.I. agent were admissible. We find that they were properly admitted into evidenсe, and we affirm. 1
I.
The undisputed facts, insofar as they are relevant to the issue on appeal, reveal that the owner of a 1966 Chevrolet Super Sport reported his car stolen from a parking lot in Fairview Park, Ohio, on January 24, 1969. Two days later, a Mississippi highway patrolman, Don Hill, met a blue 1966 Chеvrolet Super Sport bearing Ohio license plate No. DU 910 speeding on Highway 14 in Winston County, Mississippi. He observed the car pull into a private driveway and its occupants enter a house for a short time, after which they returned to the car and began driving in the opposite direction from which thеy had been traveling when Hill first saw them. At this point, Hill stopped the car and asked the driver, Thundershield, for his driver’s license. He replied that he did not have one, but gave Hill his name and told him that he was from Cleveland, Ohio. Thundershield also replied that he could not produce proof of ownership of the car. The same questions were asked of LeQuire, who also stated that he could not prove ownership of the car. No questions were direсted to the other three passengers. Hill then told Thun-dershield that if he could not produce some type of identification, he would be given a citation for failing to have a driver’s license in his possession. He was not placed under arrest, but was told to follow Hill to the office of the Justice of the Peace. It is undisputed that at this time Hill did not know that a car matching the description of the car being driven by Thundershield had been stolen.
On arriving at the Justice of the Peace’s office, LeQuire was granted permission to go to Thundershield’s grandmother’s house to get enough money to pay the fine. In the meantime, Hill radioed a check on the car to the National Crime Information Center, a procedure that Hill testified was routine when a рerson driving an out-of-state car cannot produce a driver’s license or proof of ownership. He also testified that those facts, рlus his observation of scratches around the ignition switch, had aroused his suspicion that the car might have been stolen. Hill had resumed his regular patrol duties when, approximately five minutes after dispatching the check, he received a radio report that the car was in fact stolen. He wаs trying to locate the car when he saw LeQuire driving it recklessly toward the Justice of the Peace’s office. Hill stopped him, drove him to the office, and placed all five under arrest for possession of stolen property. LeQuire was also charged with reckless driving. The five occuрants of the stolen car were taken to the Winston County jail and the federal authorities were notified. Hill did not question the defendants during or after their аrrest. He neither saw nor spoke to them again until some months later at the preliminary hearing.
*343 It is undisputed that no questions were asked of the appellants from the time of their arrest to the time that a special agent for the F.B.I., Brent War-berg, interviewed them on the following day. It is also undisputed that bеfore Warberg began his questioning, he read the proper Miranda warnings to each of the appellants from a printed form. The form also contained a waiver which LeQuire signed; Thundershield verbally indicated that he waived his rights to counsel and to remain silent. Neither appellant asked for an attorney at any time. They answered Warberg’s questions willingly, without threat, promise, or coercion. Written statements were drawn from the brief questioning, which contained admissions by both appellants that they either drove or traveled in the car from Ohio to Mississippi, knowing that the car was stolen. A pretrial mоtion to suppress the statements was denied, and the statements were admitted into evidence at the appellants’ trial. Unquestionably, the confessions constituted the most incriminating evidence offered against the appellants.
II.
The appellants do not contend that the
Miranda
warnings given to them by Warberg were insufficient. They maintain that the statements they made to Warberg were rendered inadmissible because patrolman Hill did not advise them of their rights at the time that they were first stopped for speeding. They contend that from the time Hill asked them their names, they were not free to go and thus were technically under arrest. The appellants cite Orozco v. Texas,
No. 761, Westover v. United States, the defendant was handed over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation by local authorities after they had detained and interrogated him for a lengthy period, both at night and the following morning. After some two hours of questioning, the federal officers had obtained signed statements from the defendant.”384 U.S. at 456-457 ,86 S.Ct. at 1618 . “In
******
“At the time the FBI agents began questioning Westover, he had been in custody for over 14 hours and had been interrogated at length duing that period. * * * Despite the fact that the FBI agents gave warnings at the outset of their interview, from West-over’s point of view the warnings came at the end of the interrogation process. In these circumstances an intelligent waiver of constitutional rights cannot be assumed.”384 U.S. at 495-496 ,86 S.Ct. at 1639 .
The frivоlousness of the appellants’ contention that their situation is even remotely comparable to Westover’s is at once appаrent. The local authorities did not interrogate the appellants at all, much less to the extent that West-over was questioned. Moreover, even if the local police had questioned the appellants without giving the proper warnings, a later interrogation by agent Warberg would not necessarily require the conclusion that the federal authorities were beneficiaries of the pressure applied by the earlier questioning. See
We also disagree with appellants’ argument that рatrolman Hill was required to warn them of their rights at the time they were stopped for speeding. Nothing in
Miranda,
or in any
*344
other case, requires that in this type of routine, on-the-scene questioning, the person detained must be given the
Miranda
warnings. On the contrary, such a requirement was specifically excluded in
Miranda,
