However, studies reveal that many people violate this right and speak to law enforcement, often due to misunderstanding the legal protections or succumbing to pressure. Legal experts highlight the challenges in enforcing the right to silence effectively, emphasizing that ignorance of rights and psychological factors can lead individuals to waive their protections during interrogations and conversations with police officers.
