testfactor, 1 month ago Nah, it’s the 5th Amendment. The right against self incrimination. You can’t be forced to testify against yourself. Basically, I can’t put you on the stand in the court room and be like, “did you do it?” You’re always aloud to just stay silent and make the prosecution have to prove their case without your help. But they are allowed to search you physically and take any physical things they want as evidence, be it a ring of keys or your fingerprint.
