They'd probably call social services or a doctor because someone going on about a "fifth amendment" in Switzerland is clearly in need of medical attention
Genau. Oder eben LACHEZ-MOI! J'INVOQUE LE 5IÈME CODICILLE!, wir haben nicht nur eine Sprache.
I once read about a man who was arrested in (I think) either Serbia or Croatia who told the police that he was taking the "fifth amendment" because he'd seen that on TV in a dubbed American show and thought he could do that there too.
ETA: And many people in German-speaking countries think that if you get arrested by police in a German-speaking country, you are read a translated Miranda warning: "Sie haben das Recht zu schweigen. Alles, was Sie sagen, kann vor Gericht gegen Sie verwendet werden. Sie haben das Recht auf einen Anwalt. Wenn Sie sich keinen Anwalt leisten können, wird Ihnen vom Gericht einer zugeteilt."
Canadian here, I guess offer directions to the airport so they can get a flight to British Columbia?
