What is the test for admitting a statement made to a foreign police officer?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Welch, 455 F.2d 211 (2nd Cir. 1972):
Whenever a court is asked to rule upon the admissibility of a statement made to a foreign police officer, the court must consider the totality of the circumstances to determine whether the statement was voluntary. If the court finds the statement involuntary, it must exclude this because of its inherent unreliability, as in Bram v. United States, 168 U.S. 532, 18 S.Ct. 183, 42 L.Ed. 568 (1887). There was no basis for such a finding here.
