Opinion of Ginsburg, J.
English, "No one should be required to accuse himself." Id., at 2. As an "expression of our view of civilized governmental conduct," id., at 9, the privilege should instruct and control all of officialdom, the police no less than the prosecutor.
Convinced that Chavez's conduct violated Martinez's right to be spared from self-incriminating interrogation, I would affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeals. To assure a controlling judgment of the Court, however, see ante, at 799 (Kennedy, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part), I join Part II of Justice Souter's opinion.
