5th amendment advocate
This prevents the government from forcing a person to testify against himself.
Although the founders were particularly concerned about persons being tortured into incriminating themselves, the courts have extended the privilege to any forced testimony.
What does plead the 5th mean?
For someone facing criminal charges, pleading the Fifth means exercising their right to remain silent and not incriminate themselves.
If you worry about answering questions out of fear that you may be guilty of a crime, you have the legal right to plead the Fifth.
What is asserting the 5th Amendment?
“Pleading the Fifth” means you are asserting your right under the Fifth Amendment to refuse to answer questions where you might incriminate yourself.
It applies both to questioning in police custody and testifying in court.
In most cases, when someone states they are pleading the Fifth, all questioning stops.
Can a non US citizen plead the 5th?
Anyone can invoke the Fifth Amendment but only for something that would subject them to prosecution in the United States.
If a foreigner (or a US citizen) is asked about something that could incriminate them in a foreign country but not in the US, they cannot invoke the Fifth Amendment.
