OPINION
GILDEA, Chief Justice.Appellant Juan Humberto Castillo-Alvarez challenges his convictions for second-degree murder and kidnapping, in violation of Minn.Stat. §§ 609.19, subds. 1(1), 2(1), 609.25 (2012). Castillo-Alvarez contends that Minn.Stat. § 609.045 (2012) and the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Minnesota Constitution bar the prosecution in this case. He also asserts that the district court erred in admitting evidence of his unrecorded statement to law enforcement. Because neither section 609.045 nor the Minnesota Constitution bar the prosecution and because the district court properly admitted Castillo-Alvarez’s unrecorded statement, we affirm.
This case arises from the June 1997 kidnapping and murder of 15-year-old Gregory Sky Erickson. Erickson lived in Estherville, Iowa and started using and selling drugs in 1996. Castillo-Alvarez also lived in Estherville and owned a Mexican restaurant. Castillo-Alvarez was a drug dealer who fronted drugs to street-level dealers.1
In December 1996 a street-level dealer, Luis Lua, fronted Erickson one pound of marijuana. Erickson was expected to pay Lua $1400 after the marijuana was sold, and Lua then would be able to pay a debt Lua owed to Castillo-Alvarez. Erickson was not able to sell the marijuana because *531he was arrested and police seized the drugs. Consequently, Erickson did not have the money to repay Lua. Lua was upset because he was not paid and, in turn, did not have the money to pay Castillo-Alvarez. Both Lua and Castillo-Alvarez were also concerned that Erickson would tell the police about their drug business. In addition, Erickson owed a debt to a street-level dealer in Estherville named Aurelio Ortiz. Ortiz gave Erickson $500 to buy a half-ounce of methamphetamine, but Erickson neither obtained the drugs nor refunded the $500.
On June 5, 1997, Lua and two other people, Ben Alden and Shawn Knakmuhs, confronted Erickson. Erickson was found in a closet at E.S.’s apartment. Knakmuhs demanded that Erickson deliver Ortiz’s drugs or return Ortiz’s money. Erickson gave the group some methamphetamine, and Knakmuhs took $50. Lua then pointed a pistol at Erickson and told Erickson that he had one day to repay the rest of his debt. Later, when the group weighed the drugs Erickson gave them, Lua and Ortiz became angry because Erickson lied about the amount of drugs he had given them.
The next day, Lua, Ortiz, Alden, Knak-muhs, Juan Astello and several other men armed with multiple guns, including a Lor-cin .380 handgun that Lua received from Castillo-Alvarez, confronted Erickson. Alden went into E.S.’s apartment to see if he could resolve the situation, but Erickson was not there. The rest of the group entered the apartment. Lua then sent Alden to retrieve Erickson.
When he later arrived at E.S.’s apartment, Erickson was taken into the bedroom and assaulted. At one point, Lua put an unloaded gun in Erickson’s mouth and pulled the trigger. Lua then told Erickson that they were taking him to see “the man” and Erickson would be “lucky if the man let him live.” Lua told Erickson if he ran, Lua would shoot him.
Lua and other men drove Erickson to Castillo-Alvarez’s restaurant in Esther-ville. Erickson’s hands were tied behind his back. When they arrived at the restaurant, Castillo-Alvarez got into the car with Lua. When Castillo-Alvarez emerged from the car, Castillo-Alvarez told Ramiro Astello “that [they] were supposed to take [Erickson], give him a beating and let him walk back to town” and that Lua would tell them “what would be next.”
Lua and four men drove to a secluded area. Erickson was pulled from the car and was assaulted again. Lua pulled out a gun and pointed it at Erickson. Astello asked Lua what he was doing, and Lua responded that Castillo-Alvarez told him to kill Erickson and leave his body in Minnesota.
Instead of shooting Erickson there, a large garbage bag was placed over Erickson’s head, and Erickson was put in the trunk of the ear so he would not bleed on the back seat. The group drove to an abandoned farmhouse in Jackson County, Minnesota. Erickson was taken into the basement and killed. Lua shot Erickson first with the gun Castillo-Alvarez had given him, and then Erickson was shot by another man.
The next day, Lua and Knakmuhs attempted to set fire to the farmhouse so Erickson’s body could not be identified. They poured gas around the basement, including Erickson’s body. The fire burned part of the basement but not the entire house. Erickson’s partly burned body was found one week later.
After Erickson’s body was found, police executed a search warrant at Castillo-Alvarez’s restaurant. During the search, the Lorein .380 that Lua used to shoot Erickson was found in a false ceiling. But *532Castillo-AIvarez fled the area before he could be arrested.
In 2004, Castillo-AIvarez was located in Mexico, extradition proceedings began, and the State of Iowa charged Castillo-AIvarez with second-degree murder, kidnapping, and conspiracy. State v. Castillo-Alvarez, No. 08-0868, 2009 WL 2960419 (Iowa Ct.App. Sept. 2, 2009). Mexican officials arrested Castillo-AIvarez and returned him to the United States in October 2006. Castillo-AIvarez was received by FBI Agent Robert Birnie and the Clay County Iowa Sheriff at a Houston, Texas airport. While in an FBI office at the airport, and after Castillo-AIvarez read and signed a waiver of his Miranda rights, the agent and sheriff conducted a custodial interrogation. In keeping with FBI policy and Texas and Iowa law, the officers did not electronically record the interrogation. During the interview, Castillo-AIvarez denied involvement in Erickson’s murder. Castillo-AIvarez said that he told Lua to take Erickson to the country, beat him up, leave him naked, and let him walk back to town. But Castillo-AIvarez denied telling Lua to kidnap or kill Erickson.
Following a jury trial in Iowa, Castillo-AIvarez was convicted on all charges. In September 2009, a divided panel of the Iowa Court of Appeals reversed the convictions based on a violation of Iowa’s speedy trial rule, Iowa R.Crim. P. 2.33(2)(b). State v. Castillo-Alvarez, No. 08-0868, 2009 WL 2960419 (Iowa Ct.App. Sept. 2, 2009).2
Five months later, in February 2010, the Jackson County Attorney in Minnesota charged Castillo-AIvarez with two counts of aiding and abetting second-degree murder and one count of aiding and abetting kidnapping. Castillo-AIvarez filed a motion to dismiss, arguing that Minn.Stat. § 609.045 and the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Minnesota Constitution, Minn. Const, art. I, § 7, barred the Minnesota prosecution. In the same motion, Castillo-AIvarez sought to suppress his statement to Agent Birnie because it was not electronically recorded as required by Minnesota law. See State v. Scales, 518 N.W.2d 587 (Minn.1994). The district court denied the motion.
A Minnesota jury found Castillo-AIvarez guilty on all counts. The district court convicted Castillo-AIvarez of second-degree murder and kidnapping, and sentenced him to 48 months for the kidnapping conviction and 480 months for the second-degree murder conviction.
Castillo-AIvarez appealed to the Minnesota Court of Appeals arguing, among other issues, that Minn.Stat. § 609.045 and the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Minnesota Constitution barred the Minnesota prosecution and that the district court erred in admitting evidence of Castillo-Alvarez’s unrecorded interrogation. The court of appeals affirmed, concluding: section 609.045 did not preclude a Minnesota prosecution because Castillo-Alvarez’s Iowa conviction was overturned on appeal; applying the dual-sovereignty doctrine, the Minnesota prosecution did not violate the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Minnesota Constitution; and the district court did not err when it admitted Castillo-Alvarez’s unrecorded statement because “the *533Scales recording requirement is a state procedural rule intended to govern conduct occurring within the state” and Castillo-Alvarez’s interrogation did not occur in Minnesota. State v. Alvarez, 820 N.W.2d 601 (Minn.App.2012). We granted Castillo-Alvarez’s petition for review.
I.
We turn first to Castillo-Alvarez’s contention that Minn.Stat. § 609.045 bars the Minnesota prosecution. Section 609.045 states:
If an act or omission in this state constitutes a crime under both the laws of this state and the laws of another jurisdic•tion, a conviction or acquittal of the crime in the other jurisdiction shall not bar prosecution for the crime in this state unless the elements of both law and fact are identical.
(Emphasis added). Issues regarding statutory interpretation present questions of law that we review de novo. State v. Grigsby, 818 N.W.2d 511, 515 (Minn.2012). To interpret a statute, we must first determine “whether the statute’s language, on its face, is clear or ambiguous.” State v. Randolph, 800 N.W.2d 150, 154 (Minn. 2011) (citation omitted) (internal quotation marks omitted). A statute is ambiguous only if it is subject to more than one reasonable interpretation. State v. Fleck, 810 N.W.2d 303, 307 (Minn.2012).
Castillo-Alvarez contends that Minn.Stat. § 609.045 barred the Minnesota prosecution because his Iowa conviction involved offense elements that were identical in law and fact. As a threshold matter, the State contends that Castillo-Alvarez’s Iowa conviction does not fall within the meaning of the word “conviction” as used in section 609.045 because the Iowa conviction was set aside on appeal. Castillo-Alvarez responds by relying on Minn.Stat. § 609.02, subd. 5 (2012), which defines “conviction” generally as “a verdict of guilty by a jury or a finding of guilty by the court” that is “accepted and recorded.” Based on this definition, Castillo-Alvarez contends that his Iowa conviction constitutes a “conviction” under the plain language of section 609.045. We disagree.
In State v. Spaulding, 296 N.W.2d 870 (Minn.1980), we rejected an argument similar to the one Castillo-Alvarez advocates. Spaulding arose in the context of Minn. Stat. § 609.035, subd. 1 (2012), which provides that “if a person’s conduct constitutes more than one offense under the laws of this state, the person may be punished for only one of the offenses and a conviction or acquittal of any one of them is a bar to prosecution for any other of them.” (Emphasis added). In Spaulding we explained that the “[d]efendant’s first conviction, which was set aside on appeal, was never a final conviction under [section 609.035] so as to bar the State’s prosecution -” 296 N.W.2d at 875. Our analysis in Spaulding effectively interpreted the word “conviction” in section 609.035 as requiring a “final conviction.” Twenty years later, in State v. Schmidt, 612 N.W.2d 871, 877 (Minn.2000), we reaffirmed that section 609.035 required a “final conviction.”
Castillo-Alvarez urges us to reject the analysis in Spaulding and Schmidt because we cannot add words to the statute, including words requiring that the conviction be final. But the statutory language at issue in this case is materially indistinguishable from the language of section 609.035. Section 609.045 was enacted at the same time as section 609.035. Act of May 17, 1963, ch. 753, 1963 Minn. Laws 1185, 1188-89 (codified at Minn.Stat. §§ 609.035, .045) (showing the adoption of statutes relating to successive prosecutions in one act). And the broad purpose of the two sections is the same — to protect defendants from being punished twice for the *534same behavior. See State v. Bookwalter, 541 N.W.2d 290, 293-94 (Minn.1995) (discussing the purpose of Minn.Stat. § 609.035). This purpose is not served if a conviction is reversed before the second case is brought. And a prohibition on another trial would also be in direct conflict with our well-established practice of remanding for a new trial when a trial error required reversal of the defendant’s conviction on appeal. See, e.g., State v. Crawley, 819 N.W.2d 94, 98 (Minn.2012); c.f., State v. Milton, 821 N.W.2d 789, 794 (Minn.2012).
Finally, as the federal courts have explained, a conviction that has been reversed is a legal nullity. See, e.g., United States v. Brest, 266 F.2d 879, 880 (3d Cir. 1959) (“[S]ince the first proceeding had been found ... to be a nullity he was not thereby subjected to double jeopardy.”); Mitchell v. Youell, 130 F.2d 880, 882 (4th Cir.1942) (“[I]n holding that the trial was a nullity, we hold that he has not been in jeopardy under the charge. It is settled that an accused is not put in jeopardy by a void judgment of conviction.”). The fact that a reversed conviction is a legal nullity supports our conclusion that it would be unreasonable to interpret the term “conviction” in section 609.045 to preclude a Minnesota prosecution when the conviction in the other jurisdiction was reversed on appeal before the Minnesota charges were filed.
For all of these reasons, we conclude that the word “conviction” as used in section 609.045 means the same thing as “conviction” in section 609.035. This interpretation requires a final conviction, one that has not been set aside on appeal, in order for the statute to bar another prosecution.
In sum, when Minnesota filed its complaint against Castillo-Alvarez, the Iowa convictions had been reversed on appeal. Consequently, they were not convictions for purposes of MinmStat. § 609.045.3 We therefore hold that section 609.045 did not bar Castillo-Alvarez’s Minnesota prosecution.
II.
We turn next to Castillo-Alvarez’s argument that the Double Jeopardy Clause in the Minnesota Constitution, Minn. Const, art. I, § 7, bars his prosecution. The interpretation and application of the Minnesota Constitution is a legal question that we review de novo. United Prairie Bank-Mountain Lake v. Haugen Nutrition & Equip., LLC, 813 N.W.2d 49, 53 (Minn.2012).
Castillo-Alvarez concedes that the United States Supreme Court has interpreted the language of the Double Jeopardy Clause of the United States Constitution to allow successive state prosecutions when the defendant’s act transgresses the laws of both states. See Heath v. Alabama, 474 U.S. 82, 88, 93, 106 S.Ct. 433, 88 L.Ed.2d 387 (1985). Nevertheless, he argues that we should construe the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Minnesota Constitution to offer greater protection than the federal constitution. We decline to do so.
We have recognized that we can “interpret our state constitution to afford greater protections of individual civil and political rights than does the federal constitution.” Kahn v. Griffin, 701 N.W.2d 815, 828 (Minn.2005). But we do not “cavalierly construe [the Minnesota Constitution] more expansively than the United States Supreme Court has construed the federal constitution.” State v. Fuller, 374 *535N.W.2d 722, 726-27 (Minn.1985). Instead, we favor uniformity with the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the United States Constitution because it results in consistency of practice in state and federal courts. Kahn, 701 N.W.2d at 824. This is especially true “when both constitutions use identical or substantially similar language.” Id. at 828. But, if we determine that “the United States Supreme Court has made a sharp or radical departure from its previous decisions or approach to the law and ... we discern no persuasive reason to follow such a departure,” we may interpret the Minnesota Constitution to independently safeguard the rights of our citizens. Id.
Here, the state and federal double jeopardy clauses use substantially similar language. See Fuller, 374 N.W.2d at 726-27 (discussing how the state and federal double jeopardy clauses are “textually identical.”) The Minnesota Constitution provides: “no person shall be put twice in jeopardy of punishment for the same offense.” Minn. Const. art. I, § 7. And the United States Constitution provides: “nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb.” U.S. Const. amend. V. Having concluded that both constitutions use substantially similar language, we next consider whether the Supreme Court’s decision in Heath reflects a sharp or radical departure from the Court’s previous decisions or approach to the law.
The Supreme Court’s conclusion in Heath that the federal double jeopardy clause allows successive state prosecutions when a defendant’s act transgresses the laws of both states “is founded on the common-law conception of crime as an offense against the sovereignty of the government.” 474 U.S. at 88, 106 S.Ct. 433. Under the so-called “dual-sovereignty doctrine,” two sovereigns, each deriving power from independent sources, may both prosecute an offender for a crime arising from the same conduct that violates the laws of each sovereign. United States v. Lanza, 260 U.S. 377, 382, 43 S.Ct. 141, 67 L.Ed. 314 (1922). In other words, when a single act by an offender transgresses the laws of two sovereigns, he or she has committed two distinct criminal offenses. Heath, 474 U.S. at 88-89, 106 S.Ct. 433. The Supreme Court began applying the dual-sovereignty doctrine as early as 1847, ten years before the Minnesota Constitution was adopted, to cases regarding state and federal legislative authority to criminalize conduct. See Moore v. Illinois, 55 U.S. (14 How.) 13, 14 L.Ed. 306 (1852); Fox v. Ohio, 46 U.S. (5 How.) 410, 12 L.Ed. 213 (1847); see also Minn. Const. of 1857 (adopted Oct. 13, 1857).4
Having reviewed the Supreme Court’s previous decisions and approach to the law, we conclude that the Court’s decision in Heath does not reflect a sharp or radical *536departure. Consistent with Heath, we construe Minn. Const. art. I § 7, to allow successive state prosecutions when the defendant’s act transgresses the laws of both states. Because Castillo-Alvarez’s Iowa prosecution does not preclude the State of Minnesota from prosecuting him for the same crime, we hold that Castillo-Alvarez’s rights under the Minnesota Constitution were not violated.
III.
We turn next to Castillo-Alvarez’s argument that the district court’s admission of his unrecorded out-of-state interrogation by federal and Iowa law enforcement violated the rule announced in State v. Scales, 518 N.W.2d 587 (Minn.1994). In Scales, we declared that electronic recording of custodial interrogations is required in Minnesota, whenever feasible. Id. at 592. The Scales rule serves two purposes. First, Scales serves the procedural purpose of creating an accurate record of a defendant’s interrogation for trial and appeal. Id. at 591; see also State v. Conger, 652 N.W.2d 704, 709 (Minn.2002) (discussing the procedural purpose); State v. Miller, 573 N.W.2d 661, 674 (Minn.1998) (same); State v. Thaggard, 527 N.W.2d 804, 807-08 (Minn.1995) (same). Second, Scales serves the substantive purpose of discouraging “unfair and psychologically coercive police tactics.” Scales, 518 N.W.2d at 591; see also State v. Waddell, 655 N.W.2d 803, 811 n. 3 (Minn.2003) (discussing the substantive purpose).5
As a threshold matter, we must consider an issue of first impression: whether the rule announced in Scales applies to interrogations conducted outside Minnesota. See State v. Sanders, 775 N.W.2d 883, 888-89 (Minn.2009) (explaining that we need *537not reach the issue of whether Scales applies to interrogations conducted outside Minnesota because we concluded that the jury’s verdict was surely unattributable to the alleged Scales violation). This threshold issue presents a choice-of-law question that we review de novo. See Danforth v. State, 761 N.W.2d 493, 495 (Minn.2009).
A.
Over the years, we have used three different choice-of-law approaches to resolve issues relating to the admission of evidence collected in another jurisdiction. Fleeger v. Wyeth, 771 N.W.2d 524, 526-27 (Minn.2009). We have labeled the approaches: (1) traditional choice of law, (2) exclusionary rule, and (3) most significant relationship. See, e.g., State v. Heaney, 689 N.W.2d 168, 174-76 (Minn.2004).
Under the traditional choice-of-law approach, when choice-of-law questions arose, the law of the forum (“lex fori ”) controlled procedural conflicts, including evidentiary matters. Moore v. Lillehau-gen, 150 Minn. 492, 495, 185 N.W. 958, 959 (1921). For all substantive conflicts, however, the law of the location where the cause of action arose (“lex loci ”) controlled. Anderson v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 222 Minn. 428, 432, 24 N.W.2d 836, 839 (1946). Until 1973, we exclusively used the traditional choice-of-law approach. See, e.g., Stotzheim v. Djos, 256 Minn. 316, 319 n. 2, 98 N.W.2d 129, 131 n. 2 (1959); Anderson, 222 Minn. at 432, 24 N.W.2d at 839; In re Daniel’s Estate, 208 Minn. 420, 425-26, 294 N.W. 465, 468 (1940); Lillehaugen, 150 Minn. at 495, 185 N.W. at 959; Brunette v. Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie Ry. Co., 118 Minn. 444, 448, 137 N.W. 172, 173 (1912); Fryklund v. Great N. Ry. Co., 101 Minn. 37, 39, 111 N.W. 727, 728 (1907); Herrick v. Minneapolis & St. Louis Ry. Co., 31 Minn. 11, 13, 16 N.W. 413, 413-14 (1883), aff'd, 127 U.S. 210, 8 S.Ct. 1176, 32 L.Ed. 109 (1888).
In Milkovich v. Saari, we first departed from the traditional choice-of-law approach. 295 Minn. 155, 203 N.W.2d 408 (1973) (abandoning the “outmoded” lex loci rule in favor of a better rule of law analysis). Later, in State v. Lucas, 372 N.W.2d 731, 737 (Minn.1985), we used the “exclusionary rule” approach to resolve a choice-of-law issue relating to evidence collected in another jurisdiction.
In Lucas, a Minnesota defendant sought suppression of tape-recorded phone conversations made in Wisconsin that would have been inadmissible under Wisconsin law but were admissible under Minnesota law. Id. at 736. As we noted in Lucas, under the exclusionary rule, a forum state must suppress evidence when: (1) evidence was illegally obtained under the law in both the search jurisdiction and the forum state; or (2) evidence was illegally obtained in the search jurisdiction, and forum-state officers participated in the search. Id. at 736-37. Evidence is not suppressed, however, when: (1) evidence was illegally obtained under the law of the search jurisdiction but was legally obtained pursuant to forum-state law and forum-state officers were not involved in the search; or (2) the seizure of evidence was valid under the law of the search jurisdiction, but was not lawful if it occurred in the forum state. Id. at 737. In Lucas, we held that “it is preferable to use an exclusionary rule analysis rather than a traditional conflicts of law approach to determine the admissibility of evidence obtained in another state.” Id. Because the collection of the evidence in Lucas did not violate Minnesota or Wisconsin law and Minnesota officers were not involved in the search, we held that the district court had correctly admitted the evidence. Id.
*538Most recently, we used the “most significant relationship” approach in State v. Heaney, 689 N.W.2d 168, 174-76 (Minn. 2004), to resolve a choice-of-law issue relating to evidence collected in another jurisdiction. In Heaney, a Minnesota defendant sought suppression of blood-alcohol evidence collected in Wisconsin, on the ground that the evidence was obtained in violation of Minnesota’s physician-patient privilege. Id. at 171. We concluded that in this situation the traditional choice-of-law analysis was unhelpful because it failed “to recognize that a privilege is fundamentally different from other evidentiary rules in that it has this substantive aspect.” Id. at 174. Distinguishing Lucas, we also decided that the exclusionary rule was inapplicable because the conduct was not “illegal under the statutes or constitution of either the forum or search jurisdictions, nor any statute or constitutional principle in the search jurisdiction that would make the evidence inadmissible.” Id. at 172.
In light of the inadequacy of both the traditional choice-of-law analysis and the exclusionary rule, we applied the most significant relationship approach to determine the admissibility of evidence collected out of state in violation of the Minnesota physician-patient privilege. Id. at 175-76. Under this approach, the law of the state with the most significant relationship to the evidence controls, even if it conflicts with the law of the forum, unless applying the law of the state with the most significant relationship would be contrary to a strong public policy in the forum. Id. at 175. We held that the most significant relationship approach was preferable because it recognized “both the substantive ... [and] procedural nature of the privilege statute.” Id.6
*539Applying the most significant relationship approach, we held the state where a privileged communication occurs is the state with the most significant relationship to the communication unless there is a prior relationship between the parties. Id. at 176-77. Because the communication at issue occurred in Wisconsin, that state had the most significant relationship with the communication, the law of Wisconsin controlled, and therefore the evidence was admissible at the defendant’s Minnesota trial. Id. at 177.
Although not a perfect fit for the circumstances that exist in the privilege context, the Scales rule is similar to the privilege at issue in Heaney because the Scales rule has both a procedural and substantive purpose. See, e.g., Waddell, 655 N.W.2d at 811 n. 3 (stating “criminal defendants are ... protected against coerced confessions by the recording requirement”); Miller, 573 N.W.2d at 674 (“The underlying rationale for our decision in Scales was to prevent factual disputes about the existence and context of Miranda warnings and any ensuing waiver of rights.”). Also, similar to Heaney where violating the physician-patient privilege did not amount to illegal conduct, violating Scales merely renders the evidence of an interrogation inadmissible if the violation is substantial, but does not make the collection of the evidence illegal. Because of the similarities between application of the Scales requirement and application of the privilege at issue in Heaney, we conclude that the most significant relationship approach should be used to address the question of whether Scales governs unrecorded, out-of-state interrogations conducted by out-of-state officers.7
B.
Having concluded that the most significant relationship approach applies in this case, we consider which state had the most significant relationship to Castillo-Alvarez’s unrecorded interrogation. Castillo-Alvarez was interrogated in preparation for him “to stand trial ... in the State of Iowa.” The extradition documents do not show that a Minnesota prosecution was expected because charges had only been filed in Iowa. Further, Castillo-Alvarez was received in Texas by an FBI agent who resides in Iowa and an Iowa sheriff— providing further support that the interrogation occurred in preparation for an Iowa prosecution. Moreover, it is undisputed that Minnesota law enforcement played no role in initiating or conducting the interrogation.
Because Iowa has the most significant relationship with Castillo-Alvarez’s interrogation, the law of Iowa should apply absent a strong Minnesota public policy. *540Heaney, 689 N.W.2d at 175. Unlike State v. Sanders, 775 N.W.2d 883, 885 n. 3 (Minn.2009), where it was “unclear as to why the FBI conducted the interview” or whether the interview was done “at the request of’ Minnesota police, the FBI agent and Iowa sheriff, following the procedures of their respective jurisdictions, interrogated Castillo-Alvarez for the purpose of prosecuting Castillo-Alvarez in Iowa. There is no evidence that Minnesota police officers were using out-of-state law enforcement to circumvent the Scales requirement. Under these circumstances, we conclude that there is no strong Minnesota policy requiring application of the Scales rule.
Because Iowa has the most significant relationship to Castillo-Alvarez’s interrogation and we find no strong Minnesota policy requiring us to apply the Scales rule, we hold that the district court did not err in admitting evidence of Castillo-Alvarez’s unrecorded interrogation.
Affirmed.
LILLEHAUG, J., not having been a member of this court at the time of submission, took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.. The evidence at trial explained that "to front” means that one drug dealer has provided drugs to another dealer, who then sells the drugs and pays the supplier after the drugs are sold.
. Iowa R.Crim. P. 2.33(2)(b), provides that "[i]f a defendant indicted for a public offense has not waived the defendant's right to a speedy trial the defendant must be brought to trial within 90 days after indictment is found or the court must order the indictment to be dismissed unless good cause to the contrary be shown." This rule has been recognized as "more stringent than its constitutional counterpart recognized in Barker v. Wingo.” State v. Miller, 637 N.W.2d 201, 204 (Iowa 2001) (citing Barker v. Wingo, 407 U.S. 514, 92 S.Ct. 2182, 33 L.Ed.2d 101 (1972)).
. Because the overturned Iowa convictions were not convictions for purposes of Minn. Stat. § 609.045, we need not consider whether, as Castillo-Alvarez argues, the elements of Minnesota and Iowa charges were identical in both law and fact.
. Relying on State v. Fredlund, the State argues that we recognized the dual-sovereignty doctrine in 1937. 200 Minn. 44, 50, 273 N.W. 353, 356 (1937) ("But neither in the federal nor in our own constitution is there any prohibition against successive prosecutions if the wrongful act is the cause of separate and distinct offenses. Thus a single act may violate laws of different jurisdictions.”). Castillo-Alvarez argues that in Lupino v. State we implicitly rejected the dual-sovereignty doctrine by assessing whether the offenses had the same elements to determine if the Double Jeopardy Clause was violated because of an out-of-state prosecution. 285 Minn. 507, 508, 171 N.W.2d 710, 711-12 (1969). But the Fredlund discussion of the dual-sovereignty doctrine was dicta, and Lupino resolved a Double Jeopardy issue based on the fact-specific question of whether the offenses were the same and avoided addressing whether the dual-sovereignty doctrine applied. Consequently, the application of the dual-sovereignty doctrine is an open question.
. The concurrence asserts that our "conclusion that Scales is both a procedural and substantive rule is simply wrong” because we relied on our “supervisory power” to create the rule. Consequently, the concurrence asserts that we err in looking to the "purposes” of the rule instead of the "source of authority from which the rule was created.” The source of our authority to write the Scales rule, however, is not at issue in this case. And even if such authority were at issue, our supervisory powers are not limited to procedural matters. In State v. Graham, 764 N.W.2d 340, 348 (Minn.2009), we explained that we retain, under our supervisory power, the right to grant a new trial prophylactically or in the interests of justice. Moreover, in State v. Kaiser, 486 N.W.2d 384, 387 (Minn. 1992), we used our supervisory power to effect change in prosecutors' behavior during discovery by ordering a new trial based on a prosecutor’s nonprejudicial failure to comply with the discovery rules. More recently, three members of our court opted to exercise the court's supervisory power to order a new trial based on a prosecutor's alleged interference with medical examiners. State v. Beecroft, 813 N.W.2d 814, 846-50 (Minn.2012).
Moreover, as the concurrence notes, there are many rules of evidence that, while promulgated by our court based on our "inherent judicial authority to regulate and supervise the rules that govern the admission of evidence,” State v. Obeta, 796 N.W.2d 282, 287 (Minn.2011), have both procedural and substantive purposes. See, e.g., Minn. R. Evid. 407 comm. cmt. — 1989 (barring introduction of evidence of subsequent remedial measures to encourage people to make needed repairs): Minn. R. Evid. 408 comm, cmt. — 1977 (barring introduction of offers of compromise to encourage compromise negotiations). Scales is one such rule. We have previously recognized that the Scales requirement has a procedural purpose — preserving an accurate record of an interrogation, and a substantive purpose — "discouraging] unfair and psychologically coercive police tactics” resulting "in [a] more professional law enforcement.” Scales, 518 N.W.2d at 591; cf. State v. Robinson, 427 N.W.2d 217, 224 n. 5 (Minn.1988) (asking law enforcement to record interrogation before the adoption of Scales, not only to create an "objective record,” but also to validate the "integrity of the actual interrogation” and "the integrity of the process”). We decline the concurrence's invitation to revisit that precedent.
. The concurrence contends that the most significant relationship approach "is only intended to apply to the narrow scope of choice-of-law questions pertaining to privileges.” We disagree. The most significant relationship approach is applied to resolve a variety of choice-of-law issues. See State v. Schmidt, 712 N.W.2d 530, 535-36 (Minn. 2006) (applying the most significant relationship approach to a choice-of-law issue regarding the effect of a judgment in another state); see also Ehredt v. DeHavilland Aircraft Co., 705 P.2d 446, 452-53 (Alaska 1985) (applying the most significant relationship test to determine which state's law should be used to measure damages in a wrongful death suit); Merkle v. Robinson, 737 So.2d 540, 542 (Fla. 1999) (applying the most significant relationship approach to an issue regarding the statute of limitations); People v. DeMorrow, 17 Ill.App.3d 901, 308 N.E.2d 659, 664-65 aff’d, 59 Ill.2d 352, 320 N.E.2d 1 (1974) (applying the most significant relationship approach to a choice-of-law issue on the admission of evidence relating to the fruits of a search); New England Tel. & Tel. Co. v. Gourdeau Const. Co., Inc., 419 Mass. 658, 647 N.E.2d 42, 44 (1995) (applying the most significant relationship approach to an issue regarding the statute of limitations); Ameristar Jet Charter, Inc. v. Dodson Int’l Parts, Inc., 155 S.W.3d 50, 58 (Mo.2005) (applying the most significant relationship test to resolve all substantive conflicts of law issues); Heavner v. Uniroyal, Inc., 63 N.J. 130, 305 A.2d 412, 416-18 (1973) (holding the statute of limitations of the state with the "most significant interest" should be applied, even though at common law statutes of limitation were procedural); Gutierrez v. Collins, 583 S.W.2d 312, 318 (Tex.1979) (applying the most significant relationship test to choice-of-law issues regarding torts); Baffin Land Corp. v. Monticello Motor Inn, Inc., 70 Wash.2d 893, 425 P.2d 623, 627 (1967) (applying the most significant relationship test to choice-of-law issues regarding contracts). Our own precedent recognizes that rules often have both procedural and substantive components, making their categorization as purely rules of substance versus rules of procedure difficult. See, e.g., State v. Lemmer, 736 N.W.2d 650, 656-58 (Minn.2007) (discussing the difficulty in determining whether collateral estoppel is procedural or substantive). The most significant relationship approach has gained popularity, in part, because the traditional choice-of-law approach is difficult to apply when a rule is not purely procedural or purely substantive. See, e.g., New England Tel. & Tel. Co., 647 N.E.2d at *53943-44 (noting that ‘‘[m]any commentators have criticized the traditional conflicts analysis that treated statutes of limitation as ‘procedural’ rather than ‘substantive’ and have urged courts to consider alternative approaches” and holding that the most significant relationship approach will be applied to statutes of limitation).
. The concurrence asserts that we are overruling precedent by applying a choice-of-law method other than the lex fori doctrine. The concurrence is mistaken because we made the pivot away from the lex fori doctrine almost 20 years ago in Lucas. We held in Lucas that it was ‘‘preferable” to apply a doctrine other than lex fori "to determine the admissibility of evidence obtained in another state.” Lucas, 372 N.W.2d at 737. We took that analysis a step further in Heaney, holding that the lex fori doctrine fails to “adequately weight] the various evidentiary concerns that arise” in the context presented in that case, one that raises an evidentiary question that also has "a substantive component." Heaney, 689 N.W.2d at 174. By relying on cases decided before Lucas, it is the concurrence that is departing from precedent.
