- smcin 3y agoWhat, "the West" meaning everything from Bulgaria to Canada to Estonia? That's way overly broad claim. This ruling isn't even for all of the US, currently only at the Utah state Supreme Court level, it hasn't gone to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals or Supreme Court. This is not necessarily the last word on the topic, not even just for the US. Another of many factors is whether the person was being detained or merely questioned, whether they had been formally notified of their right to remain silent, etc.
