(concurring specially).
I write specially to point out that almost all of the time, trouble, and effort expended in this appeal could have been avoided if law enforcement officers followed the simple admonition of Justice Morgan in Satter v. Solem, 434 N.W.2d 725, 727 (S.D.1989), (Satter II):
After all, it requires no great effort to take out the Miranda card, read the subject his rights, and ask the simple questions: Do you understand your rights and do you waive them?
I also join Justice Henderson’s writing concerning Detective Thompson’s conduct, which conduct consisted of lies and white lies and cannot be condoned. Cf. People v. Shaw, 180 Ill.App.3d 1091, 129 Ill.Dec. 799, 536 N.E.2d 849 (1989) (suppression of defendant’s statement was warranted because it was improperly induced by the interrogating officer’s promise that defendant could get help in the form of psychiatric counseling if he were found guilty). Such conduct is totally unbecoming of a law enforcement officer of this state, whose sworn duty is to uphold and enforce the law.
