“[T]he [Supreme] Court has made clear that the "prohibition on further questioning like other aspects of Miranda is not itself required by the Fifth Amendment's prohibition on coerced confessions, but is instead justified only by reference to its prophylactic purpose." Connecticut v. Barrett, 479 U.S. 523, 528 , 107 S.Ct. 828, 831 , 93 L.Ed.2d 920 [1987] (citing Quarles ). The same considerations that allow the police to dispense with providing Miranda warnings in a public safety situation also would permit them to dispense with the prophylactic safeguard that forbids initiating further questioning of an accused who requests counsel.... ... Society's need to procure the information about the location of a dangerous weapon is as great after, as it was before, the request for counsel.”
