This phrase is commonly used in both American legal proceedings and Brazilian judicial contexts (direito). In Brazil, the concept of 'incriminação' is central to criminal law, and the right against self-incrimination (direito de não se auto-incriminar) is protected. In the USA, the Fifth Amendment protects individuals from self-incrimination, making this phrase particularly relevant in interrogation and courtroom settings.
