2022(In re Kenneth S. (2005) 133 Cal.App.4th 54, 65 .) “The mere fact that an investigation has focused on a suspect does not trigger the need for Miranda warnings in noncustodial settings.” (Minnesota v. Murphy (1984) 465 U.S. 420, 431 .) As a panel of this court observed, the issue “‘is not whether a reasonable person would believe he was not free to leave, but rather whether such a person would believe he was in police custody of the degree associated with formal arrest.’” (Pilster, 15 supra, 138 Cal.App.4th at p. 1403, fn. 1 .)

1986One well-recognized circumstance tending to show custody, which we shall apply here, is the degree of physical restraint used by police officers to detain a citizen: “If the police officer uses physical restraint on the suspect [citation] or draws a gun [citation] it is more likely to be deemed *229 custodial than if the questioning occurs without physical restraint or opportunity to restrain. [Citation.]” (People v. Herdan (1974) 42 Cal.App.3d 300, 307, fn. 11 [ 116 Cal.Rptr. 641 ].)

2022(Berkemer, supra, 468 U.S. at p. 436 , fn. omitted.) Restriction on a person’s “freedom of action” is not enough (id. at p. 436); there must be a custodial environment that “presents the same inherently coercive pressures as the type of station house questioning at issue in Miranda.” (Howes v. Fields (2012) 565 U.S. 499, 509 .) Here, substantial evidence supports the trial court’s conclusion the contact began as something less than a traffic stop, where Pham did not pull Ryan over and their conversation appeared consensual.
