Answer 1

I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that it may incriminate me, I plead the fifth

Answer 2

Many people think the 5th Amendment is just about your "right to remain silent." It goes beyond that! The below is the 5th Amendment in its entire context.

5th Amendment to the US Constitution

"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

Answer 3

I still know this Amendment along with the others that pertain to cops quite well from a class.

"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

This is one of the foundations for a grand jury to ensure that people are not wrongly indicted for infamous crimes.

It guarantees a person shall not have to be subjected to double jepoardy as well which is a great thing for our system. Can you imagine the uproar in LA if OJ Simpson was allowed to be tried again? And what if he lost...try him again? And Again?

There is also the infamous right to not self incriminate yourself which is one of the foundations for the Miranda Warning (along with the 4th Amendment).

This Amendment is also taking center stage right now with the government as more and more cities are trying to use imminent domain laws to take peoples land.

EDIT: I have seen some stupid thumbs down in my lifetime but why give almost everyone a thumbs down for saying the same thing in one way or another? Every single answer on here is correct just some are more in depth.
