"Miranda only kicks in when you’re under arrest."

Correct. And being in handcuffs is an "arrest" for purposes of the Miranda warning. Statements given while in handcuffs will generally be suppressed, with the exception of "exigent circumstances."

"Otherwise they can question all day and detain you."

Give an example of your statement.

Well I am exaggerating a bit on ‘all day’, but they can go on for a long time. That guy on FR that was carrying that rifle in Nashville has over 10 minutes of ‘detained’ on camera while they go through his stuff.

I don’t have the link handy, but they’ll do what they want.
