The Utah Refusal of Information Defense is a legal protection provided by the state of Utah that allows individuals to refuse to provide information or documents that could incriminate them in a criminal investigation. This defense is rooted in the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which provides individuals with the right to remain silent and not incriminate themselves. The Utah Refusal of Information Defense is typically used when law enforcement officers ask an individual to provide documents or evidence that could be used against them in a criminal investigation. The individual has the right to refuse to provide the information without repercussions, as long as they do not waive their right to remain silent. There are two types of Utah Refusal of Information Defense: the categorical and the selective. The categorical defense allows an individual to refuse to provide any information or documents that could be used against them in a criminal investigation. The selective defense allows an individual to provide some information, but to refuse to provide certain documents or evidence that could incriminate them.
