A pesar de su fundamental importancia, el derecho a no autoincriminarse continúa planteando diversas discusiones, tanto a nivel teórico como práctico. ¿Pueden las personas imputadas rehusarse a entregar evidencia documental? ¿Puede este derecho aplicarse en procedimientos administrativos y civiles? ¿Cuál es el grado exigido de coacción para entender que este derecho ha sido infringido?
