Several countries adopted in their Constitutions or in their infra-laws the right to not self-incrimination. This right is also guaranteed by several international treaties which were incorporated to the internal laws of several countries, including Brazil. It can be observed that the texts adopted by the countries are similar and include, in general, the right of the investigation or the accused remain silent, that is, the right not to testify against themselves in criminal investigation or proceeding instituted for the determination of a particular offense. In short, investigated or defendants are not compelled to assist in the production of evidence in cases filed against them. While texts of legal provisions that enshrine the right to self-incrimination are similar and in some cases almost identical, it is observed that our jurisprudence conferred much greater extension to the right than that observed in comparative law coverage, and in some cases this expansion eventually become ineffective legal provisions in force, as happened with the recent sealing of the use of certain alcohol tests for evidence of intoxication. Several arguments can be raised to try to explain why the right to not self-incrimination have become an almost absolute right, among them: an erroneous interpretation of its contents; not weighting of conflicting values in the case concert; the notion that the individual s body cannot, under any circumstances, be used as a test object; the exaggerated importance given to individual rights; and the confusion between authority and authoritarianism that took place in our society after the end of the dictatorial regime
