The case is troubling because it is so divorced from reality. Most people don’t know that they have the right to remain silent when questioned by police during an investigation. And certainly most are unlikely to know that even if they have such a right, they must explicitly say, “I wish to invoke my right to remain silent.” Although the plurality rejects that there are any specific magic words that must be uttered, it seems fairly close to that because the suspect must unambiguously and expressly invoke the right to remain silent!! addictinginfo.org/2013/07/01/another-scotus-decision-slipped-under-the-radar-want-to-remain-silent-you-better-speak-up/
